At Delwood our priority is to provide a fun welcoming community for your kids to play sports and make connections. We also pride ourselves on developing your kids into better ball players. Now, we are taking that a step further.

We are super excited to offer a Sports Performance Training Program over the next three months that will help develop your child's athleticism and put them in a better position to succeed come spring. The program will be headed up by Coach Lance Hooton, who is a strength and conditioning coach and a Delwood alumni. He coached at the University of Texas, OU, Rice, and UCONN before starting a private training business. Over the last 25 years, he has trained MLB All-Stars, Olympians, World Champions, a Heisman Trophy winner, NBA and WNBA lottery picks, and first-round NFL draft picks. Now, he is very excited to work with your kids at Delwood. Here is how he describes the program he is putting together for our kids:

Speed is the ultimate game changer. And Delwood's Sports Performance Training Program will teach each athlete the proper biomechanics and technical skills for speed development to help them implement quickly and confidently directly to the field of play. Your athlete will become stronger, faster, and healthier in-season and out.

This program is available for 10U and up. It will begin on Monday November 28 from 5:00 pm -6:00 pm at Delwood, and run every Monday until February 20 except December 26, pending weather or unforeseen scheduling conflicts. The cost will be $120.
