GUELPH GRYPHONS PERFORMANCE ACADEMY INVITES YOU TO TRAIN LIKE A GRYPHON! Our head Gryphons Strength & Conditioning Coach Josh Ford welcomes community athletes to train with our Strength & Conditioning staff and current Gryphons Student-Athletes. Athletes will be trained using principles from the Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD) to maximize the windows of trainability. Using age appropria
te methods similar to our own Gryphon athletes, the Gryphons Performance Academy athletes will experience the following training based on developmental level.
-> Energy System Development (Conditioning)
-> Strength, Speed & Power
-> Movement Competency & Capacity
-> Balance, Coordination, Agility
-> Mobility & Flexibility
-> Proper Recovery & Regeneration Strategies
The goal of the Guelph Gryphon Performance Academy is to provide a challenging and safe training experience for young athletes to improve and enhance their physical capacities that will benefit their athletic pursuits and beyond. In turn we see increased health and wellness, confidence levels and decreased rates of injury. The Guelph Gryphons are proud to promote a positive culture of inclusivity, encouragement, and personal growth. We want young athletes to experience what it’s like to invest energy, attention and effort towards a goal and see the results that follow! During our training sessions our instructors will emphasize the 5 values of “I Am Gryphon” program:
Caring, Determined, Respectful, Engaged and Authentic. All sessions will have a coach-to-athlete ratio of at least 1:10 and will be coached by one of our Strength & Conditioning Coaches along with current Gryphon varsity athletes. NOTE: GPA FOOTBALL Sessions will be taking place at the Performance Centre located inside the Alumni Stadium (1 Powerhouse Lane) and GPA MULTI-SPORT & SAQ Sessions will take place in the Gryphon Performance Centre in the W.F.
