Philosophy
To improve all aspects of ground-based training. This includes cardio-vascular fitness, speed, agility, flexibility, and core strength.

Evaluations
There will be a pre-test and post-test from each of the following areas: Plyometrics, Speed, and Agility. Failure to pre- and post-test will result in the grade of "no credit" for the course.

Attendance

Grading

Equipment
Ground-based training equipment will be used. This includes speed ladders, resistance band, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, cones, and jump ropes. The use of sport-specific equipment will not be tolerated.
