Prisaa-7, Prisaa Cebu hosts 3-day seminar on strength conditioning
THE Private Schools Athletic Association (PSC)-7 and Prisaa-Cebu hosts a three-day seminar dubbed “The Strength and Conditioning Course” which started yesterday and ends tomorrow at the Cebu Coliseum function room.
The seminar, which will prepare coaches and trainers design and implement a strength and conditioning program for schools sports athletes.
The seminar, which will give slots of two to three teams per school, will have personnel from the Lead Institute of Sports as resource persons. Certificates of participation and hard copies of the lectures and workshops for each module will be given to participants.
Delegates
The delegates from Bohol, Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental will be billeted for free at the PSC-7 dormitory at the Cebu City Sports Center on a first-come-first-served basis.
This seminar is part of the continuing innovation of the Prisaa, which is being geared for bigger things next year as the organization plans to broaden the participation of the private school-based multi-event meet.
Earlier, Prisaa national president Gonzalo T. Duque said that the Prisaa board had agreed to stage the Prisaa National Secondary Games next year and will conduct competitions for elementary students in the regional Prisaa meets.
Duque, who revealed that Pangasinan is bidding for the initial staging of the Prisaa National Secondary Games next year, said the Prisaa doesn’t want to rely on the government-run Palarong Pambansa.
National Secondary Games
“The Prisaa board has already decided to stage the Prisaa National Secondary Games next year, and in fact, Pangasinan is bidding to host the event, which may be a week prior to the Prisaa tertiary games,” Duque said. “In the regional level, we will also conduct the elementary-level Prisaa games. With this move, the Prisaa games will now be like the Palaro.”
Duque also bared that he will recommend strongly to the Prisaa board for the inclusion of foreign athletes in the future Prisaa national games.
“This is to perk up the interest of Filipinos in non-popular sports in the country like football. For example, we here in Pangasinan have a lot of Sudanese students who are always playing football by the hundreds. If we allow them to participate in the Prisaa, then we can learn from them,” said Duque.
