Strong Girls Lifting Club (Grade 5-8th)

Led by Dr. Ellen Yost, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), alongside Dylan Green and Lexi Brent, two recent multi-sport collegiate athletes, each session combines expert strength coaching with mental performance activities designed to help girls grow physically and mentally. Girls will develop proper lifting technique while building confidence, resilience, leadership, mindfulness, and healthy habits through engaging discussions, games, journaling, and mentorship activities.

New This Year!

We've created two after-school time options that are open to both our middle and high school lifting programs, giving families the flexibility to choose the schedule that works best.

Choose either:

• Monday & Wednesday | 2:30–4:00 PM

• Monday & Wednesday | 4:30–6:00 PM

(*Need to switch your time during the season? No problem!)

Each session includes:

• Expert strength coaching led by Dr. Ellen Yost, with support from Dylan Green and Lexi Brent.

• Age-appropriate strength training, with girls grouped by age, experience, and ability to ensure safe, individualized instruction and appropriate progressions for every participant.

• Mental performance lessons focused on confidence, resilience, leadership, mindfulness, goal setting, communication, and overcoming challenges through games, discussion, journaling, and interactive activities.

• Meaningful mentorship opportunities with positive high school role models during the mindset portion of each class, helping younger girls build confidence, friendships, and a strong sense of belonging within the Strong Girls community.

**NEW BUS Option for Middle School - Students joining our 2:30pm Strong Girls Program NOW can ride Bus 6 Mondays & Wednesdays after school. Please let us know if you plan to take the bus at registration. Space is limited.

At Strong Girls United, we believe girls grow stronger when they have strong role models walking alongside them. Through this unique combination of expert coaching, mental performance training, and mentorship, participants develop not only stronger bodies, but also the confidence, resilience, and leadership skills to thrive both on and off the field.
