🏐 Resources for Speed, Agility & Vertical Training

Empowered Play is expanding movement support beyond the mental health space — offering curated training tools and referrals to help young athletes grow with confidence and care. Whether you’re looking for local training or a structured at-home plan, you’re in the right place.

💪 Vertical Training Program by Sydnie

A 4-week at-home program designed to increase your vertical by 0.5–5 inches.

  • Dynamic warmups and cooldowns
  • Agility and strength sessions
  • Jump mechanics, vertical drills, and pre-hab exercises
  • Volleyball-specific training 2–3x per week

Perfect for athletes ages 12+ with parental supervision if new to movement training.

💻 How It Works:
You’ll receive a digital PDF after purchase ($75). Due to misuse, users must now agree to a waiver and commit to respectful use.

Options:

  • Vertical + Strength Program
  • Speed + Agility Program
  • Or both

📝 Note: You’re not signing up for a session time here — this is for program access and a consultation.

1st Lesson Expectations

What to expect for your first lesson:

Arrive 10 minutes early

We will goal set for 5 minutes

Parents will sign waivers

I will introduce you to your warmup that you will do before each lesson going forward. (Please arrive 5-10 min early for this each time so we can use the full hour for volleyball). If you have your own theraband please bring it. 

We will end 5 min early to discuss take-aways, homework and answer any questions and take care of payment.
