Youth on Weights
Does your child or teen want to build strength and stamina? Pediatricians and youth specializing fitness trainers say it is both safe and beneficial to introduce young people to supervised, progressive weight training.Weight training is appropriate once a child can maintain balance and postural control and are able to listen and follow directions. This is usually around age 8 but it depends on your child's maturity level.Although children under 10 years may develop strength from training with weights, adolescents in the range of 12 to 15 years are usually the group who are the most interested. Your child should also want to do this activity and be prepared to train. Strength training for children is not weightlifting, powerlifting, or bodybuilding in their purest forms, which are aimed at competition.There are a few conditions where weight training is not recommended, including for children with uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizure disorders, or those who have undergone chemotherapy. Please email our fitness experts if you are unsure or if you have questions.This program is driven by one of our personal training fitness experts and is held in our Rocky Mountain Strength Studio.Please come prepared with comfortable clothing, water bottle and clean indoor running shoes (no boots, open toes, or crocs)

Teams begin the game with the same number of players on the field.THE GAME - The object of the game is to score the most points during a timed Match. Points are awarded for “hits” and “catches”. A “hit” against an opponent = 1 point. A “catch” is worth 3 points when an opponent’s arrow is caught in mid flight. When a player is hit with an arrow, they remain in the game and continue to play.BOUNDARIES - During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines.THE OPENING RUSH - Players take a position on their end line. Following a signal by the referee, players rush into the Neutral Zone to gather their arrows. Each team’s arrows are on their right. Players then return to their Action Zone to start shooting.ZONE RULES - Players are “live” only when in their Action Zone. They can only shoot or be shot when in their Action Zone (behind their Attack Line). Players are not allowed to shoot from the Neutral Zone and players cannot shoot at players who are in the Neutral Zone. Players in the Neutral Zone are only permitted to retrieve arrows and return immediately to their Action Zone. Players may not stall in the Neutral Zone and must return to their Action Zone within 10 seconds before a warning will be issued by the referee. A second infraction will result in a 2 point penalty at the discretion of the referee. 2 point penalties may be assessed for crossing over the opposing team’s Attack Line, stalling, shooting someone in the Neutral Zone, or being out of bounds.PAUSE IN GAME (TIMEOUTS) - The only timeouts are for equipment safety issues and injured players. On the rare occasion of an injury, immediately notify the referee to stop play and attend to the injured player.PLAYER CONDUCT - Players are to respect and adhere to the decisions of the referee at all times.
