General fitness information.
Concussion Traning material
The State of Nevada has recently enacted new laws regarding consussion prevention and recognition. AB455 talks about our role in providing traning material. Please review this information from the CDC. We as a league will offer courses once NYSA develops the material. Bottom line, if in doubt keep the player out of the game and have them get examined by their physician, better safe than sorry.

Agility class for soccer athletes
Dear coaches and parents,
Sierra Strength and Speed has always provided top notch classes for the Northern Nevada athletes’ and this year we are increasing the options for our soccer development. Our classes for young athletes have always been centered around injury prevention but this year we are making a more concerted effort in really working with our young athletes to improve their athletic development and prevent injuries. This is not a conditioning class it is an agility, footwork, dynamic warm-up, leg strength, and running mechanics format. Our facility is open for running full speed drills and our staff understands the early development and fundamentals that need to occur for proper progression.
We like to run classes in a 6 week block. Classes are broken down by age group and they will begin with one time per week if we get enough interest we can add a second time per week. The cost is typically $12-15/athlete/session.
If you have more questions please do not hesitate to call.
Thanks, Rob
