Summer Athletic Development

In light of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the Athletic Development team will be providing virtual summer programming.

Student-athletes will be provided consistent programming to do at home, with a main focus on health and well-being. Training doesn’t need to stop and your overall fitness can be improved remotely.

The virtual summer Athletic Development programming will run June 8 - Aug. 7, and is free of charge to current and newly enrolled St. Anne's-Belfield students.

Use the tabs below to learn more about virtual summer Athletic Development programming, and complete this survey to sign up. Once registered, you will receive additional information regarding weekly virtual workouts. If you have any questions, contact Coach Powlovich.

Programming

The most important time to train to improve one’s performance as an athlete is in the off season. In most cases the competition load is decreased, which allows more time for athletic development and specific skill work for upcoming sports. For most athletes this time is in the summer.

The following are the core areas of focus for the summer Athletic Development program:

Baseline Testing: 1-mile, 300-yard shuttles, vertical, 40-yard dash, agility drills, strength exercises for the older athletes
Daily Training Routine
Prehab: Foam rolling, mobility work, dynamic warm up
Speed & Agility: Sprint and change of direction work
Power: Jumps, bounds, skips
Strength & Core: Planks, carries, slams, age appropriate strength exercises
Conditioning: Varies depending on the day
Post Exercise Flexibility & Recovery: Static stretching and stressing the importance of sleep and proper nutrition to fuel the body and stay injury free.

PLT4M Training App

The Athletic Development team is excited to announce that the School will now be using training app PLT4M. PLT4M will make it easy for student-athletes to access workouts and training schedules in one central location, especially during the virtual program. Exercise videos are included, making it easier for programming and executing the workouts.

If you are interested in participating in the summer athletic development, please fill out this survey:

Rising Grades 5 - 8: Your days and times are already set for the summer. Virtual workouts will take place during these given blocks, and if we can return to School, these will be the days/times of training. If you are in eighth grade, we would like you to begin with the Grades 7 & 8 programming for at least three sessions and then you may join the Upper School program.
Rising Grades 9 - 12: You will notice that there are not set days and times yet for specific sports. Choose your first sport of the school year. For example, if you don’t play a fall sport and your first sport is basketball, then choose that as your option. Once we have the breakdown of interest by sport, we will set the days and times for virtual workouts and keep these consistent if we return to campus this summer. This will allow us to combine smaller groups, if need be.
Summer Travel: Please follow the instructions for the groups above. Since we will all be training remotely, everyone will have access to a bodyweight routine and an “access to equipment routine” for the whole summer.
