BlueStreak Sports Training

BlueStreak Sports Training has become the standard for sports specific strength and conditioning in the tri-state area.

A proud member of of Athletic Republic, BlueStreak's high performance sports science based facilities have become a place where athletes of all ages and skill levels go to push their limits.

Ice Hockey

Dynamic Warm-up/Cool-down

Dynamic warm-up consists of activities to increase heart rate, blood flow, muscle temperature, and breathing rate. Warming up allows muscles to stretch more easily and joints to move more easily, thereby preventing pulling muscles, most commonly hamstring and quadriceps. Our warm-up also focuses on agility, speed development and flexibility. Cooling down ensures athletes relax their muscles and reduce next-day soreness.

Hockey Acceleration (20 sessions)

Our science-based training improves the rate at which you can do mechanical work, retraining your body from the inside out-neurologically, metabolically and biomechanically. This allows you to become more efficient while performing hockey specific movements. In our optimal training environment-a potent combination of our proprietary equipment coupled with properly placed mirrors, video feedback and our qualified trainers-you will quickly find that you can progress beyond all your preconceived notions about your abilities and limitations. Over the course of 6 to 8 weeks, athletes schedule 20 training sessions. Athletes focus on proper skating mechanics and speed development on our Athletic Republic Hockey Treadmill. Athletes also partake in our plyometric and multi-directional sessions where they increase first step quickness, improve lower body power, coordination, and agility. Two times per week athletes complete a functional strength training program to increase their power on the ice. This program includes pre/post performance evaluations. BlueStreak Headquarters only: Athletes work on stick handling and shooting on our synthetic ice rink.

Lacrosse Acceleration (20 sessions)

Every defenseman can slide, every attack men can split dodge and shoot, but what will separate you from everyone else when you step on the field across from your opponent? BlueStreak is the epicenter for off-season training in the North East. Within Lacrosse Acceleration training sessions, you will go through an extensive dynamic warm up designed by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital which targets specific movements to help reduce the chances of a lower extremity injury. The Lacrosse Acceleration workout is designed to target the specific needs for your position. This program offers the most flexible scheduling options and will use our patented Speed Treadmills and agility protocols to target specific dodges and cuts needed to master the sport of lacrosse. To yield the best results, we reccomend you train 2 to 3 days per week and complete the program within six to eight weeks. This program includes a strength component which is individualized depending on your age, ability and goals. Athletes complete a comprehensive performance evaluation before they begin training. Standardized tests exploit your strengths and weaknesses and also help us tailor the program to best fit your needs. Stick skill is the hardest aspect of lacrosse to pick up. Our Acceleration program focuses on developing the athlete and combining that with a lacrosse skill component at the end of your training session. Here is when we work on the basic stick skills while the athlete is fatigued to further reinforce proper habits and mechanics.
