Athletes train hard from December through May, then suddenly stop and expect to come back next club season as the same player. But performance doesn’t stay the same when training stops.The off-season is actually the best time to improve. Without the demands of competition, you can train harder, recover better, and focus on areas you can’t during in-season. On-court reps alone won’t improve your vertical or make you stronger, it’s the work in the gym that makes the difference. That’s why we built Vert Academy: a program designed to combine on-court skill development, strength and conditioning, and mentorship. It gives athletes a complete, well-rounded approach to off-season training.
