Speed Camp At Stagg H.S.
-->
Young athletes (boys & girls) from ages 10 to 18 in many sports from
football, baseball, track & field, soccer and lacrosse have the opportunity
to improve their speed in a 40-yard dash or longer by what they’ll learn at the
first Northern California Cal-Hi Sports/Gold Medal Excellence Speed Camp that
will be Saturday, Feb. 28 at Stagg High in Stockton.
The
camp is under the direction of coach Chris Asher, who in 2013 guided a group of
USA Track & Field sprinters to a world junior championship in the 4x400
relay. Last summer, Asher also was a team manager for the USA Track & Field
team at the world junior championships.
At
the first Southern California Cal-Hi Sports/GME Speed Camp, which was Jan. 31 at Palisades High of Pacific Palisades, one camper in attendance went
from 4.97 in the 40-yard dash at the beginning of the day to 4.82 just a couple
of hours later.
“I
didn’t think all the little things can mean even more than lifting weights,”
said Calabasas High junior Justin Johnson about what he learned. “This
reassures me that if I keep working hard, that I’ll continue to get faster.”
Asher,
along with Cal-Hi Sports publisher Mark Tennis, decided to co-produce speed
camps in the early spring partly after watching numerous football combines over
the years.
“It’s
amazing how many of these athletes have no clue how to run a 40-yard dash,”
Asher said. “That’s great when a kid like Justin Johnson can do what he did.
That’s what we’re trying to do with this camp.”
Asher
also has extensive experience helping NFL players improve their speed. Last
summer, he worked with Arizona Cardinals defensive back Antonio Cromartie, who
lowered his 40 time to 4.32 and was in this year’s Pro Bowl. Asher also helped
Cromartie’s brother, Marcus, who by the end of the 2014 season was playing
extensively for the San Francisco 49ers.
The
cost for the one-day camp through the CalHiSports.com web site is $37, which
includes t-shirt and a certificate for several Campers of the Day. Many of
those attending also will be featured in upcoming months on the statewide
CalHiSports.com web site.
