SMASH Strength & Conditioning Programs for 2020
Learn to get strong & fast the right way. Programs are suitable for both junior athletes & adults.
These sessions are run personally by head coach Mike with assistance from interns & other SMASH coaches.

Sessions are held in the Rise High Performance Gym at Rowville Secondary College, Sports Precinct, adjacent to Show Court 1.
After we finish up with the speed & agility athletic development session we move into the gym.

Gym sessions run on Mondays from 6:30 to 7:45pm.

We cover correct lifting technique and over a progression of weeks, terms & years we cover :
kettlebells, barbells, dumbbells, bodyweight, core, olympic lifting, all the fundamental lifts & much more.

We follow the ASCA guidelines for working with junior athletes. Weights lifted are age, development & technique appropriate. It's an urban myth that children shoudn't do strength & conditioning. We start with body weight athletes & slowly work them up over a number of months & years to free weights. We are particularly careful with spinal loads - athletes learn the correct technique first using light weights. Heavier loading is only done well past 16 years of age & only after athletes can demonstrate proper technique & have 12 months of lifting experience under direct coach supervision.

If athletes are doing SMASH, sessions are $10 each. If not enrolled in SMASH, sessions are $20 each.

Finished - SMASH Combine Preparation

Head coach Mike has been assisting the AIS & the AFL at the National AFL Draft Combine speed & agility days for the last 2 years and it's apparent that even the best junior AFL prospects in the country need a lot of work in their sprint and agility technique - enter SMASH as that's exactly what we do! Informally run in the past with elite players - improvements in times of 0.3-0.4s are typical for 20m sprint. We use the same equipment as the AFL, NBA & NFL (Fusion Sport timing gates). We cover starting, agility & sprint techniques. This unique program gives specific tips for improving your vertical leap, 20/30/40m sprint in addition to national combine agility tests (AFL, Basketball, Soccer, etc). Wanting to make it overseas on a scholarship? If you do poorly at testing you typically wont make it to the next stage. We give you the best preparation possible with Pro tips and elite SMASH training. The last 2 years coach Mike has worked with Athletes Performance in their level 1 & 2 mentorship programs here in Melbourne - they are one of the best training organisations in the world.

$120 for the 1 day combine preparation program. Contact Mike to apply for this elite & advanced program.
