LR365 Juniors
Development Team
Program Description
The goal of the Loppet Run 365 Development Team is to introduce running as a sport as well as a means to improve performance in other sports. We encourage multiple sports for athletes in this program, so the team practice and camp schedule should allow for training with another team/sport. Loppet TRAIL KIDS ages 12 plus can transition to Loppet Run 365 if they desire to focus more on running.
Coaches will have a variety of workouts keeping the focus on fun but also challenging the athlete. Training sessions will include:
- Games/relays
- Running and movement mechanics
- Plyometrics, agility and speed
- Core and general strength
- Endurance training
- Race tactics and race simulation
- Pace and race tactics
- Nutrition and healthy habits for athletes
- Mental preparation for competition
Who:
The DEVO Team program is intended for Junior athletes 12 -15 years old who are interested in improving their fitness, running technique, speed, agility, endurance and racing strategies. This program is open to girls and boys of all ethnic and economic backgrounds. There is no past running experience requirement to participate.
The Mini-Devo program is intended for athletes age 6-11 years old. This LR365 program is intended on providing younger siblings of the Devo Team and other young runners an outlet for movement, exercise, and love of the outdoors. Mini-Devo programming will run concurrently with the Devo Team programming.
Season: The program runs year round and is offered by season. Typically these programs will meet 2 days a week.
