F.A.S.T. is an athletic development program offered by Vernon and District Minor Football to help improve the overall athleticism of its players in the “off” season.
At the start of the program each athlete is tested to establish a base line from which to measure their performance improvement. The program is a complete, balanced, inspirational and fun program designed to adapt around functional fitness for all sports and athletes. The program educates proper form to execute exercises safely and efficiently as well as to enhance balance, speed and reaction time. Combining elements for functional fitness body weight training as well as intertwining ropes, medicine balls, jump ropes, light weights, kettlebells, dumbbells and more.
The objectives are to train hard, move fast, with building head to toe strength, power and endurance helping the athlete increase their abilities and to perform at a much higher level than at the start of the program.
Performance is again tested at the end of the program by having the athlete repeat the “base line” tests and comparing the results. It is not unusual for athletes to improve their performance by 12 to 20% and in some rare occasions as much as 30%. As each athlete is measured individually and not against his/her “peers” it can be extremely rewarding for the athletes to see measurable improvement in their abilities.
F.A.S.T is an effective and fun development program aimed for players ages 10 to 15 that would like to improve their ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE FOR ALL SPORTS
