TESTIMONIALS

FRANK RUOTOLO

"An amazing expereince! Honestly the best coach ever and so helpful in ALL areas on and off the track. Both of my kids were able to earn a full D1 scholarship. I truly feel that my kids are where they are because of LEAP Squad. Keinan genuienly cares about each and every kid. The program has grown so much ans it all becasue of the love he puts into it. I highly recommend the LEAP Squad."

TERENA HEPNER

"Ben was able to make varsity his freshman year. He had the confidence to compete at a higher level and was able to fine tune his skills. Keinan supported him and his efforts all around and helped with exposure. Keinan encouraged Ben to complete his Eagle Scout rank and to continue To focus on academics while maintaining his 4.4 gpa. Being well rounded helped Ben to receive his appointment to the Air Force academy."

Ben Hepner - Air Force Academy

DAN WEEKS

"After her first 2 years of track, Elizabeth was an above average jumper. She worked with Keinan for 2 years and saw tremendous improvement, winning her league title, making CIF finals in 3 events, and making the state track meet. She was recruited and went to compete in track and field at MIT. Although very qualified, we believe track was the difference maker to get her in to college, and Keinan was the difference maker in track."

YEAR PHILOSOPHY: TRAIN, LEARN, APPLY, THEN COMPETE
"WE SWAPPED OUT CROSS COUNTRY FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPEMENT" - COACH BRIGGS

SUMMER TRAINING (AUGUST-OCTOBER)

Summer training is the ideal kickoff to prepare for the upcoming season while maintaining peak fitness levels. It's a unique opportunity for college athletes to refine their jumping techniques to perfection. Our training sessions resemble an engaging boot camp designed for all ages, with minimal running involved. Instead, we prioritize cross-training and bodyweight movements to enhance overall athleticism. It's important to note that during this period, there will be no event-specific training for youth and high school athletes.

FALL / WINTER SEASON

 (OCTOBER - MARCH)

This cycle focuses on advanced athlete development for the winter season, starting with cardiovascular conditioning in the fall, progressing to event-specific training, and culminating in 4-5 inclusive "all-comer" track meets. By the end of this 5-month program, athletes will be primed for a successful Spring and Summer season, both physically and mentally.

 

 

SPRING / SUMMER SZN

 (MARCH - JULY)

The Spring season caters to our youthful athletes, focusing on age division competition. As we transition into the Summer season, both youth and high school athletes come together to compete within their age groups. The Summer season also marks our primary travel period, offering athletes exciting opportunities to showcase their skills on a broader stage.
