BCSS Basketball -- S&C Programming, Phase II

Students in the SSP Basketball Program can access their second phase of programming for daily logging purposes here:

SSP Basketball -- S&C -- 2.1

SSP Basketball -- S&C -- 2.2

I recommend bookmarking these new forms in your phone for quick, easy access for recording.

You'll notice a few new changes, including the warm-up drill checklist. Also, instead of logging set and repetition metrics for accessory strength work, I am simply asking you to indicate which accessory strength work exercises you completed, also using a checklist.

A minimum of three accessory drills should be completed in each workout, and your selection should align with areas of potential improvement, injury management, or injury prevention.

Happy training,

Exercise Video Index

Senior Fitness Students!

This post is for you...

Here is a link to an exercise video index, which can help you get acquainted with exercise names and what they look like...

Click here to view the index!

It is by no means, a list of exercises that you must adhere to in your program design, but can be a useful resource for building your exercise library / toolbox.

Each exercise listed in the index will link to a YouTube video demonstration!

Please remember that you must be logged into your GAPPS YRDSB account to view/download.

Happy training!

Program Design Principles Presentation -- Senior Fitness

Last week, senior fitness classes sat down to go through program design principles...

I've included a PDF version of the presentation slides here in case anyone is interested in reviewing some of the material we went over.

Download the PDF of the Program Design Principles presentation here.

Those of you who are well into the initial stages of building and designing your own training programs for this semester, don't forget that help is available. Once you've put together a framework of what you're hoping to accomplish, let's get together and fine tune any uncertainties.

Many of you mentioned that you'd also like to use the four-day "template" that I typically use for designing strength programming micro-cycles.

So I've included it below in a PDF form format, so you can type in your own exercises and metrics. Remember, you do not have to use this template... it is just a nicely organized table for demonstrating your knowledge of exercise selection and order, along with set, repetition, load, and inter-set rest metrics.

Download the PDF version of the blank programming template here.

Remember, you must be logged into your GAPPS account to access these files.

Happy training,

Updates to Drop-in Training & Sign-up S&C Sessions

Happy Thursday BCSS...

As mentioned earlier this week- there have been a few changes to our drop-in and sign-up S&C program schedules, which have been posted online at StrongerBCSS.ca

Changes have been made to accommodate some of the other schedules and programs that are running at BCSS during the spring sport season.

Download schedules of both programs here. 

You'll notice that drop-in training sessions are now available every morning, from 7:45 - 8:45 (8:45 - 9:45 on late-start Wednesdays). Morning training is offered in first floor and second floor facilities on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and is now limited to 2nd floor facilities ONLY on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Please keep in mind that on diamond days / significant faith days, drop-in training sessions, and other scheduled training sessions are cancelled.

I've included a list of diamond days below, for which all drop-in S&C training has been cancelled. I'll do my very best to tweet reminders about cancellations of sessions from the StrongerBCSS twitter account.

Also- coming soon... I'll be using the "Remind" app to send out updates and information about S&C programming at BCSS.

Happy training,

DV

Semester Two -- Weight Room Training Program for Grade 10 Fitness


Students taking Grade 10 fitness this semester for the first time can make use of this PDF, which is a two-day fitness program builder that allows freedom for selection within types of exercise.

The colour-coded workouts indicate primary and secondary groups, and students should design their weight room workouts by selecting no more than one exercise from each colour group.

Happy training!
