Beginning Monday, June 27th, we are starting our Scholastic Select sport performance program.  Our new Scholastic Select program is designed for athletes who can commit to mandatory training sessions on a regular schedule for a duration of at least 6 weeks. By making a longer committment and following a regular schedule, we are better able to plan training that progresses an athlete to their athletic peak.

The regular and more frequent attendance provides us an opportunity to train our high school athletes with the same exacting progressions that are typically only possible with professionals and collegiate athletes who do sport as their job.  If this sounds like something that might interest you KEEP READING…

Why: Because regular and frequent attendance allows us to do our job better because we can plan a long term training progression. Athletes benefit by getting stronger, faster and more fit at NO ADDITIONAL COST. There’s a reason that NFL Professionals, the Carolina Railhawks and over a dozen Olympic sport athletes train at Athletic Lab…this is your opportunity to receive the same training experience.
Who: Any athlete aged 12-18 looking for training without compromise to be faster, more powerful and better conditioned.
What: The ultimate in sport performance training from the best sport performance training center in NC.
Where: Athletic Lab’s new training center in Cary, NC. Our new location features a 10,000 square foot training hall, collegiate style weight room, and 50 yard sprint track.
Date / Time: June 27th through August 27th (8 weeks). Classes are offered at 5pm on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Athletes may also attend any of our 11 other non-Select Scholastic sessions.
How to Enroll: Sign up for either a Scholastic Monthly Unlimited training membership or a Seasonal Scholastic Unlimited training membership and contact us with your intent to enroll in the Select program. Athletes who are currently members can add the Select sessions at no additional cost if they can meet the attendance requirements.
Cost: There are no additional costs to participate in the Scholastic Select Sport Performance Training above our standard Scholastic Training costs. The only requirements for admission in to the program are attendance. Here are our regular Scholastic Sport Perfomance costs:

• $200 / Month if you lock in 3 months of monthly unlimited sessions at training
• $250 / Month if you purchase unlimited monthly sessions for the duration of the program
• Existing members can add Scholastic Select training at NO ADDITIONAL COST if they are able to make the time commitment
• Any additional time remaining on memberships will roll over for use in our standard Schoalstic program at the conclusion of the 8 week period. Pending demand, we may offer ongoing 2 to 3 month Scholastic Select training blocks.

Attendance Requirements: While there are no additional costs associated with participation in the program, athlete’s MUST be able to commit to the following attendance requirements:

• Attend at least 2 of the 3 weekly Scholastic training sessions per week for at least 6 of the 8 weeks
• Athletes will not be able to join the Scholastic Select training group after July 10th
