New and Familiar Faces Alike

Summer camps have come to an end with many of our athletes returning to school and getting back into the fall sports mode. With this, we have seen some new faces in the X-Edge camps. Those who have heard about us through friends and even those preparing for an upcoming season. We also still have some familiar faces who just couldn't get enough of the training and atmosphere that we provide. Things are about to get up and going strong again and we are looking forward to a very strong fall.

OFC Starting Season with Full Force

With season fast approaching, OFC soccer teams are up and ready to get going for a strong year. We have had immense sign ups from teams this year and are excited to start training. Athletes completed pre-testing at the beginning of the month in order to gain a baseline to judge improvements on upon conclusion of their time with us.

Junior Lancers Starting Preseason Strong

This month we had the opportunity to start training the Omaha Junior Lancers (OJL). Some of the athletes, having trained with us in the past, were great leaders for their teammates who were new to the X-Edge program. We hit it off hard the first week with some intense workouts and the teams handled the pressure well. The work being done in the weight room and out on the field will show on the ice. These athletes will be far ahead of their competition come season because of the dedication and discipline being shown now.

Becker Youth Football Begins Training

It's fall in Nebraska, which means none other than football season to the majority of residents in the state. So what better way to start off the month than by welcoming some new faces to our program? Some of the MMA Youth Football teams began testing early in the month and are scheduled to train with us for 8 months. This is a huge commitment that will no doubt pay off in the end for these teams and we are excited to see what these athletes can do.
