Ivanhoe Edge Holiday Programs: A Taste of Excellence!

Over the holidays, Ivanhoe Edge delighted the community with a trio of thrilling school holiday programs, giving a sneak peek into what our Ivanhoe Edge Sessions have to offer. The lineup included AFL, Speed and Agility, and Learn to Lift programs, each designed to inspire and challenge young athletes.

AFL Holiday Clinics: Skills, Drills, and Thrills

On Wednesday, 10 July, the AFL holiday clinics saw over 30 eager students take to the field under the expert guidance of Matt Kreuzer and Sam Allen. These sessions were nothing short of exhilarating, featuring high-intensity training focused on skill development, match play, and competitive tactics. Participants not only enjoyed the fun and camaraderie but also gained valuable insights into the drills and set plays used at the AFL level. For many, the highlight was recognizing these drills during an open AFL training session later in the holidays—seeing their idols execute the very techniques they had learned was truly inspiring!

Speed and Agility: Racing to Success

Our Speed and Agility sessions, led by the dynamic Adam Hutton, head of strength and conditioning, were a resounding success. Adam’s extensive knowledge in exercise science and his infectious positivity made the sessions both educational and enjoyable. Students were meticulously warmed up before diving into the mechanics of running and the importance of proper technique. The excitement peaked as participants ran through the light gates, comparing their times with those of top athletes. Through a series of drills, they worked on perfecting their technique before testing their skills again, witnessing firsthand the fruits of their hard work and improvement.

Learn to Lift: Building Strength and Confidence

The Learn to Lift program offered a unique opportunity for students to grasp the fundamentals of weightlifting in a world-class setting. Despite initial apprehensions, participants were thrilled to train in the same venue recently used by the Boomers and Opals. The session demystified the basics of lifting weights, ensuring that everyone left with newfound confidence and enthusiasm to continue their training journey. The positive energy and supportive environment turned uncertainty into empowerment, setting the stage for future strength and conditioning success.

A Bright Future with Ivanhoe Edge

These holiday programs were just a glimpse of the comprehensive and dynamic training experiences that Ivanhoe Edge provides. We’re incredibly proud of all the participants and can’t wait to see their continued growth and success in our regular sessions. Stay tuned for more exciting opportunities and programs!
