This winter, Rhino Lacrosse will offer two 8 week training programs (16 total sessions). Sessions will be divided into 2 sessions: Session 1 for 8th-12th graders who will meet on Mondays & Wednesdays and Session 2 for 3rd-7th graders who will meet on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Rhino Lacrosse players can expect their first session of the week on Mondays or Tuesdays to be conducted by a Rhino Lacrosse instructor. During these two hour sessions, players will have the opportunity to work on lacrosse specific stick work, lacrosse specific footwork, video sessions, nutritional talk, chalk talk, guest speaker and more.

On Wednesday or Thursdays players will be trained by certified full-time performance trainers at Velocity’s world class facility, using proven techniques to help you reach your maximum athletic abilities.

Each Velocity SPARQ Training session will include Dynamic Warm-Up and a movement component. The Dynamic Warm-Up will incorporate general mobility, muscle activation and performance preparation exercises in a 15 minute segment to ready you for the work to follow. The Movement Segment will include movement skills, energy system development and sport specific strength and power to improve the performance of lacrosse players of every level.

Increase Speed, Quickness, and Agility

The difference between good and great on the field? Speed. Proper movement techniques – the kind that can take up to .2 seconds or more off your 40-yard dash – determine who makes it to the goal first. But fast is nothing without finesse. This training blends proper movement technique with agility exercises to improve coordination, multi-directional movement, timing, and stick-handling ability.

Become a Stronger Defender

When you’re up against the clock, defense is everything. Training can help you increase your explosive power, maximal strength, and strength endurance. This leads to increased closing speed, enhanced checking skills, and the ability to mark your opponent deep in the third period.
Shoot Harder
The key to the game? Getting the shot in the net. But great goals aren’t made by muscle alone. We will we make sure you do more than lift weights; our training programs emphasize movement, function, and strength for results that go beyond building muscle. The result? Increased muscle recruitment, improved balance, and wicked rotational power shots that fly past the goalie.

Reduce the Likelihood of Injury

You can’t play the game if you’re sitting on the bench. We’ll help you stay in play with mobility development, rehabilitation exercises, and movement analysis. Reduce the likelihood of injury with Velocity Sports Performance’s “Prehabilitation,” a specialized program that helps decrease the incidence of acute and overuse injuries.

WHAT IS SPARQ?

It’s a short question, with a not-so-short answer.

First, the easy part. SPARQ is an acronym, standing for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness. Simple enough. But what does that mean?

It means that SPARQ’s mission is to help athletes improve in all of those areas through focused, dynamic training. If they improve their overall athleticism, there is no question they will improve their game.

You’re already fast? SPARQ can make you faster. You’ve never made the team? SPARQ will help you make the cut. Because we believe strongly that, while not every person is a born athlete, through training every person can become a complete athlete.

The first step is to get your SPARQ Rating. SPARQ has comprehensive assessment protocols for six sports – football, boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, baseball, fastpitch, boys’ basketball and girls’ basketball, as well as a general athletic assessment – designed to test the skills and unique brand of athleticism relevant to each sport. What these tests do is reveal to athletes their strengths and weaknesses, helping them to better target their training.

Now it’s time to get to work. Once you have your SPARQ Rating, and you know what aspects of your athleticism need improvement, SPARQ will be your go-to training resource. At SPARQtraining.com, you can learn about, interact with and receive training tips, drills and programs from our network of world-class SPARQ Trainers.

The result is a more complete athlete – blazing speed, explosive power, fluid agility, innate reaction and jump-start quickness.

So, what was the question again? What is SPARQ?

SPARQ is the difference between being a player and being an athlete.
