Brian Cassano, owner of Against the Grain Fitness, will be running a SPEED and AGILITY SESSION for Glastonbury Lacrosse Club . The session is open to girls and boys in grades 5th-8th.

Brian has been in the strength and conditioning arena for over 15 years. He has a degree in exercise science and a rewarding career training people of all ages and abilities. He is dedicated to helping people get faster, stronger, and have the physical freedom to do the activities they enjoy without pain and injury.

The clinic will focus on teaching athletes how to develop speed and learn how to sprint. The goal is to help athletes become more connected, aware, and intentional with their movement; this will allow them to play faster, be more athletic, and build confidence.

Athletes will learn

- The Basics of good sprint mechanics.

- Acceleration, quick first steps, change of speed and direction.

- Basics of jumping and landing.

- How to move with more efficiency, control, and coordination.

- Simple drills you can practice on your own.

Coaches have a great opportunity to observe and learn. You will see

- A structured warmup that can be used in every practice to see improvement over time.

- Drills and speed work that can be implemented into practice and will improve speed in real time.

- Coaching cues, activities/ speed games.

The goal is to keep this a fun environment where kids will be moving, thinking and learning skills that transfer not only to lacrosse but overall athleticism, speed and power.
