Training
BFS Readiness Strength Program
Shakopee’s summer BFS strength program will be run at the high school and consists of two programs: a BFS Readiness program specifically designed for athletes going into grades 6-8 and a program for athletes going into grades 9-12.
BFS is a strength, agility, and speed training program to improve athletic performance in all athletes as well as to develop a lifetime fitness activity. The Bigger-Faster-Stronger (BFS- www.biggerfasterstronger.com) is a proven strength training program with over 30 years of safe & positive results and is the program used by the Shakopee High School Athletic Department. The BFS Program is for all athletes, both female and male, with a focus on improving overall athleticism and developing perfect technique in all the major weight training exercises. The program will be developed & supervised by BFS certified strength coaches. Athletes will be required to have minimum strength endurance, perfect technique, and a full understanding of all safety requirements before being allowed to work independently in small groups.
See the three documents to the left that provide more details about the program (times, cost, etc) and the registration process.
In addition to the adult strength coaches, we will have four to five experienced varsity athletes to assist us with helping the younger athletes progress safely and learn the total program.
