On behalf of LEG1ON, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to work with Shady Side Academy Athletics.

In order to optimize results with the pursuit of individual and team goals, it is important that SSA Student Athletes take full advantage of this opportunity. All senior school student-athletes are allowed to use this service.  

All one-hour sessions will take place in the weight room under Mellon Gymnasium, with additional training to occur on the SSA fields (weather and scheduling permitted). Other areas of campus may also be used.

No sign-up is necessary to join these session. LEG1ON-programmed workouts will be displayed on the screens in the weightroom through our TeamBuildr software. We ask all student-athletes interested in attending these sessions to be ON TIME (arrive 15 min before session). We will have a sign-in sheet to keep records of who is attending these sessions. This is for internal use only and will assist the staff in keeping proper metrics and analytics. Please note, our training program will not be team or individual athlete specific. In order to accommodate all, our programming will take into consideration in-season and off-season focuses. All workouts will be full-body training, including resistance, cardiovascular, and plyometrics.

The program will begin on Monday, August 12, 2024, with regular hours of operation to commence as follows:

SUMMER (August 12–23)

Monday: 8:00–9:00 a.m.

Wednesday: 10:00–11:00 a.m.

Thursday: 8:00–9:00 a.m.

Saturday: 12:00–1:00 p.m.

As I have stated before, “We at LEG1ON aim to be one puzzle piece to the continuous growth and achievement of Shady Side Academy student-athletes and hope to contribute to Shady Side Academy’s legacy of excellence.”
