GARDEN CITY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING PROGRAM

The Garden City Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Program introduce students to the world of strength training. Our program centers on the basic human movements (Push, Pull, Hinge, Squat, Loaded Carry and Groundwork/Corework) and focuses on teaching students how to move properly prior to loading the body. Safety is a major focus, as students need to learn how to avoid injury and accidents while in the weight training room. Half-credit courses are offered at the 11G (Intro Exercise Science - Gr. 9) and the 35G (Principles of Strength and Conditioning - Gr. 11/12) level.

WHO ARE THE INSTRUCTORS?

All coaches are continually reading and taking part in professional development in order to learn new methods and techniques to share with our students. The quality of coaching at GC is of the highest standard and certainly among the best at any high school in Manitoba.
