Sports Agility & Conditioning class - class is designed for ages five and up who want to build a strong athletic foundation for sports such as football and basketball. Through fun, high-energy drills and activities, students will improve coordination, agility, speed, balance, strength, and overall athletic performance. In addition to physical development, athletes will learn the fundamentals of the game, including game awareness, decision-making, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Each class is engaging, challenging, and designed to help students build confidence while developing the skills needed to succeed both on and off the field or court.

Meet Coach Ellijah Bryant (Sports Agility & Conditioning Instructor) - Ellijah is a dedicated educator, coach, and former collegiate dual-sport athlete with a passion for helping young athletes grow both on and off the field. He brings 14 years of football, nine years of basketball, and eight years of track and field experience, providing students with a strong foundation in athletic performance, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

During his high school career, Ellijah attended football camps at NC State, Duke University, Wake Forest University, East Carolina University (ECU), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received instruction from top collegiate coaching staffs and further developed his skills. After graduating from high school in 2017, he became a four-year starter in collegiate football while also competing in track and field, earning his bachelor’s degree in 2021.

For the past six years, Ellijah has served as both a teacher and coach, combining his experience in education and athletics to help build disciplined, confident, and motivated student-athletes. His Sports Agility & Conditioning classes focus on developing coordination, strength, speed, game awareness, decision-making, and confidence while emphasizing discipline, accountability, teamwork, and character. Ellijah is committed to creating a positive, encouraging environment where every student-athlete is challenged to work hard, build confidence, and reach their full potential—both in sports and in life.
