Middle School Knights Power


Youth Recreation / Running and Fitness -
Winter/Spring 2026

Ready to get stronger, faster, and more confident on the field or court? This after-school program is designed for 7th–8th graders who want to build athletic skills safely and effectively. Each session is fun, hands-on, and focused on proper movement, strength, speed, power, and injury prevention. Whether you’re preparing for a specific sport, getting ahead in the offseason, or maintaining your edge in-season, this program helps you move better, perform better, and reach your full potential.

Outline/expectation

  • Shoes Required – No shoes, no lifting. Proper footwear is a must.
  • Respect the Space – No horseplay or unsafe behavior. Stay focused.
  • No Phones - Used only for check-ins and training data, not distractions.
  • Be Consistent – Progress comes from showing up and putting in steady effort.
  • Train Smart – Learn safe, functional lifts that build strength and athletic success.
  • Communicate – Report injuries or limitations to Coach DJ and Coach Shay for program adjustments

Students coming from Middle School East should ride the activities shuttle over to Middle School West after school. Departure from East is approximately 3:15 and arrival is approximately 3:20.

Shaylar Burnell

Performance Coach

My Name is Shaylar (Coach Shay) Burnell and I’m the 10th grade football defensive coordinator for STMA HS and STMA Middle School West Weightlifting coach. I attended SMSU for sports management/ youth administration, played collegiate football for the Mustangs, and also served as team captain for two years. My goal here at the middle school is to develop proper movement patterns and equip each athlete with foundational strength, coordination, and the confidence they need to excel as they progress in their fitness journey.
