Welcome to XerSports Basketball Boot Camp XerSports Boot Camps are designed to make fitness and sports training more fun, engaging, challenging and inclusive than traditional forms of exercise and sports training. Here are a few tips to assist you in understanding and making your interactive Boot Camps successful. Structure with Flexibility Boot Camps are designed to work with both XerTrainer and XerPro interactive target wall systems. XerTrainer offers Trainer mode only, while XerPro offers both Trainer and Performance Mode. XerPro offers significantly more training in lateral movement. Boot Camps are published as 4 session programs, each 45 minutes with a dynamic warm up and two drills. Feel free to mix and match the drills to meet your own needs. Also feel free to add your own exercises to the warm up. Each drill has a specific purpose and numerous skill benefits. Be sure to communicate these to participants prior to the start of each drill. There are three ability level options for each drill beginner, intermediate and advanced. Each drill is repeated three times.: o First is to LEARN the drill and get used to working together as a team. o Second is a PRACTICE run to improve both individually and as a team. o Third is the CHALLENGE to achieve your best score as a team, and to compare your score with the other teams. Number of participants XerSports drills are designed to engage up to eight participants per station. Smaller groups may be advisable to make drills faster and more challenging for higher ability levels. You can also try some of the drill variations to accomplish the same thing. For larger groups, we suggest that people toward the back of the line be involved in some kind of simple physical activity to keep them moving while still rooting for their team (running in place, jumping in place, jumping jacks, pushups, sit ups and more). Additional Tips The equipment list for each drill is per station. You can substitute as desired using equipment you have to complement the ball kit shipped with each XerPro or XerTrainer system. When more than one line is called for and you re using Trainer Mode, be sure to position the lines so they don t run into each other. 3 P age COPYWRITE: EXERCISE TECHNOLOGY INC. 2011

Recommended Equipment for XerPro and XerTrainer Your XerPro or XerTrainer is tough, durable and designed to take a beating. However, it is a computer and we need to keep that in mind when it comes to preserving the longevity of the electronics. Here is the recommended equipment list: Air filled regulation athletic balls (tennis, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer ball etc) Rubber practice baseballs, softballs, lacrosse, cricket or T Balls (need to bounce). PassBack Footballs Playground balls of all diameters Beanbags or dead balls for single directional play Swim Noodles or foam bats for striking the targets 2 pound or 1 kilo medicine ball (This is the maximum weight) BOSU balls or other balance devices for standing, sitting or lying Implements for striking the balls (hockey sticks, paddles, bats, rackets etc) Cones to provide barriers or direction The following equipment is supplied with your system when it is purchased. See spec sheets for quantity details. 5" red playground balls 7" yellow playground balls 8.5" blue playground balls 2lb. medicine ball Bean bag set Foam noodles What Equipment NOT to use on your XerPro or XerTrainer Regulation baseball.
