Edge Athletics has a double edged meaning. First, the program itself is designed to give the student athlete an edge, not only over opponents, but in life. We hope that you will take away from your experience with us, tools that you can apply as you grow into adulthood. Secondly, we will instill in each student a work ethic that most will initially think is not possible. Our staff will use terms like getting ten pounds of baloney into a five pound bag, no gaps!, no stumbling allowed, and our theme of “push yourself to the edge of the envelope.” We accomplish this three ways beginning with our staff demanding that you work your hardest at all times. Although we expect that you will have fun, practices are not social hours. The staff will push you hard to get you to work hard. Next, practices are managed to the minute, with a game clock when available, with little or no fat time. They are created in advance with each practice building on the one before and each one setting a new work standard. The practice content consists mostly of drills designed to develop and improve the basic skills. Finally, we will teach you how hard you must work inside of each drill to become as successful as your body will allow. As we move deeper into the season, time will be dedicated to tournament and game preparation.
