Classes for Credit

The Marlborough Physical Education and Athletics Departments understand that competitive athletics is an important and integral part of the Marlborough community. Preparation for a season of sport is critical to performance, injury prevention, confidence, and team cohesion, providing the cornerstone to understanding the values and life lessons of leadership and commitment.

Participants will learn proper weightlifting technique and complete a pre-season program that is similar to most university strength programs. This class is considered an expectation for the Marlborough athlete in Grades 9–12, whether they are planning on competing at the junior varsity or varsity level. While this course is geared towards Marlborough student athletes, ALL students may take this class for PE credit. Athlete’s Conditioning does focus on the basics of strength and conditioning, however the class is adaptable for all experience and fitness levels. Students will learn how to use the equipment in the fitness center, master the technique for free weight strength exercises, develop knowledge around programming and goal setting, and understand injury prevention. This course is perfect for those who are interested in personal fitness and life-long knowledge of gym use.

Students should consult the Head of Sports Performance, Lindsay Yocum, for further details.
