Off Season Conditioning

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for Off Season Training and Conditioning for the New Orleans Metro Stars.

Off season training and conditioning is a great starting point for participation in track and field.  In the off season, we work to build strength and endurance. We also make corrections in mechanics and build fundamentals. It is a good introduction for athletes interested in participating with us for the regular season. It is also a good way to correct bad habits formed in our time away from the track.

Off Season conditioning costs $30 per month for the months of November to February. There will be a trial period in October.

Please register at www.nometrostars.org/sign-up.html
