flexibility, originated in Europe (Russia). For more

PlyoCity Overview
"I
have personally trained over 15,000 athletes the past five
years and I guarantee you as a parent nothing your son or
daughter ever does as an athlete will improve their foot
speed, quickness, explosiveness and vertical jump like plyometrics."
–Mike Rangel
2. What are
the age limits for plyometrics?
Ages 8-40+. Plyometrics
under trained instructors is suitable for athletics
beginning at age 8. Since PlyoCity's training program uses the
athlete's own body weight, the impact and stress on the athlete
is lower than training programs using weights and other
equipment. Low impact workouts are especially important
for younger athletes. For older athletes, low impact workouts
make long term training possible.
Each athlete should use common
sense and if there are any health issues or concerns, coordinate
with his or her doctor before participating any physically
demanding activity, including sports and plyometric training.
3. How
long should my son or daughter train with PlyoCity?
A professional plyometrics
program should become
a year round training support system.

often should my son or daughter train with PlyoCity?
Off season 2 -3 times per
week. Pre-season 2 times per week. In season 1 time per week.
Please note all athletes need 48 hours rest in between each PlyoCity
workout.
5. Can
an athlete plyo and then go to practice or practice and then
plyo?
Absolutely. In fact many
of players have commented that their best practices are after
they plyo first.
6. How
does PlyoCity compare to other acceleration
programs?

like open gym. Typically team rates range from $4 to $6

plyometrics help prevent injuries?

area and thus help to reduce knee injuries (ACL, MCL etc).
