DETROIT -- The Wayne State University track & field program will be hosting a summer camp on June 17-19.  The three-day event will be lead by head coach Grant Lofdahl along with assistance from assistant coaches Makiba Batten and Nate Miller.

Camp is for ages 12 and up. Cost includes skill instruction, t-shirt and lunch.  Athletes must wear layers of training gear and be prepared for all weather elements.  You must bring your own training shoes and implements (throwers).  During inclement weather, we will proceed to the Duchene Athletic Facility near the track.  All participants must complete the WSU Sports Camp Health Form & Concussion Form prior to participation.

Each day will be broken into two sessions with the first session beginning at 9:00 a.m. with a break for lunch at 11:30 a.m.  The second session begins after lunch and lasts until 2:30 p.m.  Prices can be found on the brochure or at the online registration site.  Interested participants are encouraged to register prior to June 3 to take advantage of an early-bird discount.

SPRINTS/JUMPS TRAINING
All of the athletes will be given the same instruction as the Wayne State Sprinters and Jumpers with ample repetitions of their direct events. The athletes will leave with a greater knowledge of proper Acceleration and Sprint Mechanics that will be vital to their continued development over their track and field careers. The jumpers will begin by learning basic jumping mechanics, and then transition into their respective events with instruction and demonstration from the WSU athletes.

SHOT PUT/DISCUS TRAINING
Athletes will first understand the talent demands for the throws. Instruction will include all phases of the throw. Throwers will learn the skill of consistent acceleration, weight transfer, posture and blocking for efficient and powerful performances.

DISTANCE TRAINING
Athletes will learn the foundation of distance running. Training topics will include importance of running form, pacing/tempo training, and core strength demands for endurance events.

VIDEO ANALYSIS
During instruction each coach will provide video analysis and feedback to athletes. See yourself in motion and make corrections to move efficiently and produce the best possible performance.
