2026 University Football Summer Training Program

Description

This isn’t a camp. It’s a full-scale off-season system built to help university and junior football athletes separate from the pack before training camp.

If you’re back in Calgary for the summer, this is your chance to train in a high-performance environment with elite coaching, structured programming, and real competition.

Over 13 weeks, you’ll follow a proven training model used by top-level athletes:

• Position-specific strength & power training at Winsport’s CSI Gym
• Elite speed, agility, and on-field development
• Competitive 1-on-1s and situational work to sharpen football IQ

Choose the program that fits your needs:

• The Complete Package ($1050) — the full gym + field system
• The Winsport Gym Program ($800) — level up your physical tools
• The Field Prep Program ($400) — if you’re already lifting but lack on-field structure and competition

Every option is backed by top-tier coaching and built to maximize your performance this August. You only get one off-season. Make it count.

Winsport Gym Training Program

Phase 1: Strength Development (Weeks 1–5)

Goal: Maximize force production through neural and muscular adaptation.

• High-intensity, low-volume lifting protocols
• Foundational strength in key movement patterns (hinge, squat, press, pull)
• Emphasis on joint control, bracing, and movement efficiency
• Designed to increase absolute strength and structural balance

Phase 2: Strength-to-Power Transition (Weeks 6–9)

Goal: Convert raw strength into explosive force production.

• Velocity-based training principles applied to core lifts
• Olympic lift variations, medicine ball work, and plyometrics
• Increased rate of force development (RFD) and CNS priming
• Integrated contrast and complex training methods

Phase 3: Power-to-Field Transfer & Resilience (Weeks 10–13)

Goal: Peak movement performance while reducing injury risk at max output.

• Reduced volume, increased intensity and specificity
• Advanced plyometric and reactive drills for speed transfer
• Positional movement prep and energy system targeting
• Targeted injury prevention: posterior chain focus, deceleration mechanics, isometric strength
• Program culminates in peak performance readiness for training camp

Why This Program Works

• Periodized system rooted in sport science
• Position-specific programming, not a one-size-fits-all lift
• Strategic deloading & recovery protocols built in
• Trains movement, force, and durability, not just muscle
