These skills improve performance in team and individual sports, and how we train at SSP builds comfort in an athletic weight room environment so our athletes are prepared and ready for the next level and for a lifetime of healthy habits! We’re kicking things off with an Open House on Tuesday, October 15th, at 7:30 p.m. This is a chance for parents and athletes alike to learn more about our program, meet our coaches, see the facility, ask questions, and sign up for our special founding-member trial offer!
