The goal of the NSCAA is to provide an educational curriculum that will give a base of understanding for the mom and dad coach through high school coach using the relatively simple concept of the conditioning process. This will empower these coaches to design an entry-level conditioning program. Moving Toward Grassroots Conditioning is a series of articles that will create a dialogue to achieve this goal. In this first article we will introduce three simple concepts which will provide the program's foundation. Usually the coach will not have the opportunity to bring athletes into a facility to do weight training, nor should weight training with a group of young athletes be done until the athlete can control their own body weight. The intent is to start with body weight exercises for strength and stability as well as speed development opportunities. This program's intent is to come up with a simple package that the coach can do. It should be used by incorporating exercises into each session that touch upon strength and speed continuum, specific to that athlete's level. Based on the proposed curriculum, we have three of four levels of knowledge that expand through the conditioning process. The challenge is developing these levels or stages of progress.
