STRENGTH   &   CONDITIONING   PROGRAMS

Picture
The aim of the WVAS Strength & Conditioning (S&C) program is to enhance the athletes' physical capabilities, preventing them from injuries and improving their overall sporting performance. WestVic S&C sessions focus on improving movement and technique in the gym, as for many of our athletes it will be their first time in an S&C setting. All athletes are tailored for on an individual basis, as decided by their S&C coach and the program coordinator.   

WVAS S&C sessions focus on the following:  
  • S&C as a means of injury prevention and performance enhancement 
  • Correct form and technique of common movements and exercises 
  • Respect for trainers and other athletes 
  • To be self-motivated ​​



The S&C Program Coordinator works closely with the coaches, athletes and support personnel to deliver a program that is best fitted to the athlete. Programs are designed based on the athletes' musculoskeletal screen reports, and any sporting related goals that they may have. All WVAS S&C sessions are ran during Terms 2 & 3, with no sessions taking place in the school holidays.
