Summer Development Welcome letter

Next Level Training — Summer Athlete Development

Hey athletes and families,

If you scanned this QR code, welcome.

My name is Coach Doug DeMarco, and I created Next Level Training to help young athletes build strength, confidence, and skills before heading into a new school year.

The middle school years are a huge time of growth. Some students are preparing for high school sports, some are trying athletics for the first time, and others just want to feel stronger and more confident in their bodies.

This program is designed for all of them.


What Is Next Level Training?

Next Level Training is a structured summer strength and conditioning program for athletes ages 11–14.

Sessions focus on teaching athletes how to train the right way safely, confidently, and with purpose.

Athletes will work on:

  • Strength & conditioning fundamentals
  • Speed, agility, and coordination
  • Proper exercise form & injury prevention
  • Confidence and mental toughness
  • Overall athletic performance

No experience is required.
No pressure to be elite.
Just effort, improvement, and positive energy.


Why This Age Matters

Early training should build athletes — not burn them out.

My goal is to help students:

  • Enter high school feeling prepared
  • Reduce injury risk
  • Learn safe training habits
  • Develop confidence that carries into sports, school, and life

As a Health & PE teacher with over a decade working with students, I’ve seen how powerful it is when young athletes learn how to train correctly early on.


Summer Schedule

July 27 – August 21

Mondays • Wednesdays • Fridays

Consistency is key — athletes who attend regularly see the biggest gains in strength, fitness, and confidence.


Pricing

  • $20 — Single Session
  • $110 — 6 Session Pack
  • $200 — 12 Session Pack

Families can choose the option that fits their summer schedule.


What Athletes Should Bring

  • Athletic clothes & sneakers
  • Water bottle
  • Positive attitude
  • Willingness to work hard and have fun

All training is age-appropriate, coached closely, and scaled to each athlete’s ability level.


The Goal

This isn’t just about workouts.

It’s about helping young athletes walk into the next school year stronger, more confident, and ready for whatever comes next — whether that’s middle school sports, freshman teams, or simply feeling better about themselves.

I’m excited to train together this summer.
