G-mel Speed School

 

This speed school was created to honor the legacy of Brandon Gmelin. Brandon was a three-sport varsity athlete, who was named All-FCIAC in both lacrosse and soccer, and also ran track in the winter. He was committed to play lacrosse at Dickinson college, and relentlessly worked on his speed and quickness utilizing drills his father passed on to him from his collegiate and professional football career. Participants in the speed school will work on their speed and agility in a fun and collaborative setting, and are also expected to celebrate their fellow participants victories as Brandon would.
