Official Camp T-Shirt

Horsepower Club

HORSEPOWER STATUS will be for those that attend 100% of the training sessions. There are 21 sessions for the HS and 12 sessions for the MS. Attendance only counts if you attend the entire session (both the agility and lifting). If you miss a session and have COMMUNICATED in a timely manner (preferably prior) then you may do a make up session. Those that make the club will attend the FEED the STAMPEDE on the last day of camp, receive a horse-sized breakfast, and an exclusive black Horsepower Club t-shirt.

Recently, we have had Mustangs that have asked if other things count as a make up (like a camp or event). The Horsepower Club is a high standard on purpose and the short answer is "NO". To be clear, I want all of our Mustangs to go and do other camps and enjoy all the aspects of summer. That is why we give the make up options found at this link. ⬇️

***Full team camps such as wrestling and cross country do not have to be made up, but a form still has to be submitted for record keeping purposes.

Training Methods

• Linear Speed Drills

• Agility Drills

• Change of Direction Drills

• Plyometrics

• Medicine Ball Throws

Coaching Staff

There will be 10+ Mustang Strength & Speed Coaches every day to help you learn and grow. All our Mustang sport coaches stand behind this program and will be in attendance periodically.

Baseball and Softball Players

The baseball and softball coaches stand behind this program and expect you to attend. Training programs will be modified to fit the in-season athletes.

Session Scheduling

We need to keep the sessions organized as much as possible. If you must attend a different session because of a circumstance outside of your control or have questions, please communicate that with Coach Preston Pedersen before we begin. Do not attend a different session unless approved by Coach Preston Pedersen. We understand issues can arise, but please work hard to keep to the schedule.

Camps and Other Obligations

Summer can be a very challenging time for those athletes that are attending camps and have other obligations. If you are going to miss COMMUNICATE with Coach Preston Pedersen. If there is prior communication, you will have the opportunity to make up the missed sessions.

Jobs

Many of you have summer jobs. Communicate with me if scheduling will be a problem. We are beyond using a job as a reason to keep us from working hard and improving. COMMUNICATE! If you use a job as an excuse for not coming or not preparing, think about the results that you are missing out on.

Last Day of Camp for High School

On the last day of camp (Thursday, July 23rd) training will be different from the regular session times. Every camper, 8th grade through graduated senior, will train from 6:30 until 7:30 am. For those that make the Horsepower Club, they will stay and attend the Feed the Stampede right after. The breakfast will only last as long as it takes for everyone to eat and get their black Horsepower Club t-shirt. If you are going to pick up your child from the Feed the Stampede, you can count on 8:00 or so.

Recovery Protein Options

This summer there will also be an option to purchase Recovery Protein Punch Cards for high school students only. The prices are very low and this opportunity is highly encouraged!

Investing in the Future

Registration fees will be used to fund the camp and enhance the MV Mustang Strength & Speed program.
