Camp
Information
Upper 90 Elite, LLC strives to
help athletes develop outstanding athletic ability. We work to help athletes achieve their athletic potential by
making them stronger, faster, quicker and more powerful. These athletic gains also create greater confidence and
motivation, which give the athlete an even greater edge to
out-perform an opponent.
Athletic ability can often be the ingredient that prevents a player
from excelling above all others. One step faster or a couple of inches higher can mean all the
difference between a good player or a great player. That superior performance can be obtained through proper
speed & agility training.
Training
Session Design
Training
sessions are designed for specific sports, age groups and abilities.
Experience will impact on the athlete’s progression through
the levels of training. Each
training session focuses on the following areas to build the
complete athlete for any sport:
Balance
Balance
is the key to every athletic movement.
We use various exercises and drills to enhance the balance
needed for your specific sport.
This will allow for efficiency of every movement.
Structural
Strength
Abdominal,
lower back and hip strength is vital for great balance and stability.
Our custom designed exercises work all of these regions for
better stability to facilitate more efficient movement.
Speed/Running
Form
Fast,
efficient strides help in increasing top-end speed.
We focus on creating an efficient stride by limiting wasted
motion and using the entire body as a driving unit to limit ground
contact time. Through a
quicker step and longer stride, top speed is enhanced.
Acceleration
Acceleration
is one of the most important abilities in multi-directional sports.
We strive to make every athlete explosive right from the
first step with proper body positioning and a quick, powerful stride.
Change
of Direction
Quicker
turns and change of direction is essential and partners with
acceleration for great athleticism
. We
enhance turning speed through proper body mechanics, strength and
power.
Power
Our
power exercises and drills isolate certain muscles, joints and
movement patterns to complement any sport to increase jumping and
sprinting ability, while decreasing the risk of injury.
Camp
Times
& Locations
One
of the unique things about our camp is the convenience and
flexibility we offer with it. We
will train the athletes at any nearby park, field or track. Winter training can be attended at any of our various
locations around the Milwaukee
area or a gym or
indoor facility near you.
Athletes may join a group already established at a given site, or
may request a new site be created.
Generally new sites are created when groups of 8 or more
athletes are committed to the training program for that site.
The 1-hour training sessions are recommended 1-2 times per week. Programs are typically eight weeks long, but can be adjusted
to fit any pre-season or off-season schedule.
What
should I bring to each session?
Athletes
should wear comfortable athletic apparel appropriate for the weather
conditions if outside. We
always try to train athletes on a surface similar to the one they
will be performing on, so the footwear will depend on your sport. On courts, tracks or indoor training athletes should wear
supportive athletic footwear such as running or cross training
shoes. For athletes that
perform on grass we will hold outdoor training sessions on grass so
cleats are recommended.
Always
remember to bring a bottle filled with water or your favorite sports
drink!!
