To all Players of the Kanata Knights Football Club:
The Knights have hired a full time Speed and Agility coach to work with our athletes over the winter and spring. It is our pleasure to bring Pat Woodcock on to our team as our lead Speed and Agility Coach. This is a first for the Knights and a first by any other club in NCAFA. The Knights believe that exposure to this type of training by our players is a cornerstone in developing players for next season and beyond. The program will be open to all players from Tyke to Bantam including those graduating from the club. In fact we encourage players leaving for other programs to attend the sessions as it will be of great benefit to them and also serve as motivation for our younger athletes taking part.
The benefits of the training are numerous, but the most important is that we are training football specific speed and agility skills over 27 sessions. The training will include:
1. Linear speed work
2. Stopping, starting, deceleration
3. Acceleration
4. Movement skills in variety of planes
5. For advanced athletes, resisted and assisted movement patterns
6. Agility and footwork drills
There will be a cost for the program. The cost of the dome time is $10.00 per player and the cost of the coach is approximately $20.00 per player depending on numbers. We are asking that if you wish to attend all 27 sessions, then the cost to you is $400.00 in total. I guarantee that you and your athlete will not get a better deal than that anywhere else in the city. See below for other payment options. Sessions will run on Thursday evenings and Saturday Afternoons.
