ESP Athletics will be offering speed conditioning, weight lifting, and basketball classes with in a four week span. All classes will teach the proper technique for lifting and drills that are useful in any sport. Opening day event will be held July 15th between 6:30pm-9pm at Wheaton Warrenville South High School. ESP Athletics will have a demonstration of all classes, a video, and will answer any questions from visitors. Classes will officially start July 21st through August 15th, Monday through Friday; and held at both Wheaton Warrenville South High School and Wheaton North High School. Classes will be offered from 4pm-9pm age from 10 years old and up; separating each class by grade level. Each class will be a 5-1 athlete to coach ratio, an ESP rule, to make sure each athlete receives the individual attention that is needed to learn proper technique.

The drills and technique can be used throughout the athlete’s career to potentially receive an athletic scholarship. Former Wheaton Warrenville South football players such as Will Matte, Jim Nelson, and Danny Dierking have utilized ESP Athletics to improve their overall speed, strength, and athletic ability to prepare them for the collegiate level of competition.
