San Jose Jr Sharks

Jr Sharks would like to offer a free summer training program. This program provides our players a workout that they can perform at home or any commercial gym.  The overall goal is to increase strength, athleticism, speed, agility, and endurance. Improvements in these areas will directly translate to skills on the ice.  This program will extend from June tryout though  Mid August  with each phase of the workouts being repeated for 4 weeks. 

Please Contact Shane Galaviz if you have any questions.
