Thorold Elite Launches Sunday Jumps Academy and Elite-Level Jumping Program
We are proud to offer a high performance Jumps program for some of Niagara's top and up-and-coming jumpers. We spend 3 hours on Sunday afternoons, from 2-5 pm at Bullett Proof Sports Park in Welland, working with our vertical and horizontal jumpers. Here we have indoor high jump mats, plyometric boxes, hurdles, and other training tools and equipment needed to offer a comprehensive training experience for our jumpers. Athletes are broken down into smaller groups and train with a low athlete to coach ratio.
In addition, combined with former high jump national champion Jason Pilkington, we offer an elite level jumping program designed to build strength and increase vertical jumping ability in our high jumpers (as well as basketball or volleyball players - anyone aspiring to become a better jumper!). The program runs 3x a week at Crossfit905 in Niagara Falls (4256 Carroll Ave off of Thorold Stone Rd): Mondays 8-9:30 pm, Thursdays 7-8:30 pm, and Saturdays 11 am-12:30 pm. Phase 2 will resume early in March when indoor facilities reopen and will run for 8 weeks. To sign up for the program, please contact us or click here.
