Providing Athletic Development Services to the Melrose Dutchmen Athletics.

With winter right around the corner, we are back with another winter of athletic development for our Off-Season athletes. This is an opportunity for you to elevate your own personal abilities and help your team become its best version of itself.
Our training focuses on ground-based free weight exercises mixed in with speed & plyometrics. The Speed training will take place at the beginning of the morning sessions, as that is the only time we have open gym space.

If there are any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]

Attention, Dutchmen Seniors:

If you are someone who would like to fill out the application, please have it completed by 3 PM on November 18th. We are continually blessed by this foundation and appreciate everything that these people and this foundation stand for!

As the dust has settled from the 2026 summer training, here are the top performers from our metrics that went into the scoreboard. The first page shows the top 10 total point scorers throughout the entire summer. The additional pages are the top 10 in each separate category. Fun to see the top 10 make some big improvements from the early part of the summer to the end.

What a summer! This is the closest our scoreboard has been at the end. Congratulations to Abby Klaphake’s team on coming out on top when it was all said and done! A big thank you to all the athletes who committed their time, energy, and efforts into showing up and working to better themselves and their teams. Another big thank you to the coaches (Kaydence Bertram, Ria Nelson, Brandon Welle, and Ike Vesel) who helped assist me in making this summer another great one. Another thank you to Lindsay Anderson for helping fill in when needed.

One week remains of our summer training. With the final week setting up to be the biggest potential week for points, 1st place is still very much up for grabs for a number of teams. Last week, Paige Stommes' team had a 54.45-point lead. Her team now enters the final week with only a 31.36-point lead. Can't wait to see whose going to show up this last week and make the final push for the top spot!

With only two weeks of summer training left, the leaderboard is heating up! Can anyone close the gap on Paige Stommes’s team, or will they hold their lead until the final whistle? Let’s see who finishes strong!

As we are a little over the halfway point of the summer, we have some good movement happening on the scoreboard, and some margins are becoming narrower!

07/09/2026

We have had 3 weeks of solid training by our athletes! Here you will see where our scoreboard sits after those 3 weeks, as well as our top results in some of our testing metrics that go towards the scoreboard. Can't wait to see who can crack the top 10 or climb to the top for the second half of the summer!

As the school year comes to an end, our final Performers of the Month go out to Sophomore Wyatt Klaphake and 8th grader Nell Wiechmann. Both of these athletes are extremely dedicated and hardworking. They are both the type of athletes who not only make themselves better, but also make everyone else around them better. They embody the team-first culture, and that elevates everyone else around them. Looking forward to seeing how much further they will take their athletic development!

The 3rd annual Speed School Throwdown with Minnewaska Athletic Development has come to a conclusion. I am pleased to announce that Melrose was able to come away with the victory and regain the traveling trophy! It was a lot of fun to see a number of Personal Bests by the athletes who showed up and competed. I will post an additional slide in the coming days of some individual numbers. Great work, everyone!
