You will be exposed to the best and latest technology in sprint laser timing and velocity-based GPS tracking to assess how you can improve both your running speed and agility so that you can perform better on the field.

This camp will be conducted by Alcoa coaches along with current and former Alcoa athletes. No matter what your goals are for the future or what sport you play, this camp will develop your individual skills. Don't get left behind… take your skills to the next level.
