Games are won in the off season!
The NVHAA Centurions start off season training in January when coaches begin developing player’s strength, agility, and speed through a variety of training activities.
There are several aspects of off-season training:
1. **Weight Training: POC fbcnvhaa@gmail.com
The goal is for all prospective players to work out at locations close to them and in “Core Groups” whenever possible to encourage accountability, consistency, and motivation. Coaches will try to work with players to evaluate and develop an off-season weight program that will best meet the needs and training requirements of each player. In addition to developing individual workout plans, Coaches discuss proper technique, and equipment use. Remember: Homeschoolers can apply weight training & other off-season activities towards a high school PE CLASS CREDIT!

- WHERE & WHEN: Varies depending upon players and location and resources. Players can work out at home, at a local gym, or with friends. In an effort to minimize off-season expenses for players and families, the team is constantly looking for low-cost options for weight training and families need to make a decision on what is best for your family. Options are available, find one that works for you. Gym locations vary depending upon where players live. Check with the Head Coach on gyms available where you live.
- COST: Varies depending upon resources and gyms.
- OPTIONAL: Centurions Off Season Workout Plan can be downloaded and which is a general weight lifting and cardio workout plan for any player to use during the off-season, especially if they are not already in an individualized workout program.
*Participation in off-season weight training is strongly encouraged for ALL prospective and current players and does not mean a commitment to play in the fall.
