FALL ELITE WORKOUTS
3rd-8th Grades: Boys and Girls
High School: Boys Only
This workout sessions were created upon request from our Blazer and Wildcat families. The growth of the players program-wide throughout this winter and spring seasons has been tremendous. We are thrilled that our families wanted more time in the gym with our CSB trainers throughout the summer and fall months.
"The fall is the time where players separate themselves from the pack and fine tune their skills. We want them to have all of the resources and opportunities to do that. More time with your teammates executing more quality reps is what it's all about. The better they become, the more fun they will have."
-Nicholas Frazier (Lead CSB Trainer and Former College All American)
Our goal is to keep your sons’ and daughters’ skills sharp in the offseason and to do it with their teammates and players within the Blazer and Wildcat programs.
Sign up for the entire session or individual days. Free CSB T-shirt on first day of session.
