Alex Walsh S & C Camp
Alex Walsh S&C Camp is a strength and conditioning camp for athletes of all sports and all ages. The Camp has housed professional to youth athletes, with both males and females. It focuses on the athlete, and individualizes workouts for you in order to enhance strengths and turn weaknesses into strengths.
Most of the camps run in the summer, but the services last throughout the year as well. Pricing, days, times, and locations (both central Mass and Boston) vary. Contact Alex with any questions.

Alex himself has worked with athletes ranging in from 8 years old up to professionals, in sports such as ice hockey, football, baseball, basketball, track and field, volleyball, swimming, and field hockey.
Testimonials
"Alex Walsh knows how to draw out the best in our guys. His in-season workouts with about 25 players were organized and very efficient. He maximized the time and space that he had. We saw such a jump in many of the returning players' physical testing, and they did it with Alex's off-season summer program, which he individualized for each player. It worked."
- Bobby Ferraris, Assistant hockey coach, Mercyhurst College, former AIC assistant, former professional hockey player for 7 seasons.
"I went to Alex to set-up a program that would have me ready for tryouts, which were about two months away. I felt so much better with my endurance and strength than I ever had during tryouts. I wasn't that sore from the tryouts, but I was tired and sore the weeks and weeks training with Alex."
- Joe Zmuda, West Springfield High School
"I want to let you know that the weight training this summer for Luke has been just great, he says he can't believe the strength he has gained. You have done a wonderful job and we greatly appreciate how you have helped Luke. We can see the difference when he's on the ice, no one seems to be able to push him over....... If you do consider doing a fall training or just maybe continue next summer we would definitely be interested in Luke joining up with you again."
- Judy Paine, Mother of Lucas Paine, Gardner High School
"Thank you for helping Jamie begin eating right, getting in shape, and reach his goal of hopefully getting a chance to play at a higher level. He is quicker on the ice."
- Gary Roy, Father of goalie Jamie Roy, St. Bernard's High School
"My son attended the Alex Walsh Camp for the first time last summer and I noticed a big difference in his strength, flexibility and most of all his confidence. He is looking forward to attending again this summer. Thank you Alex for helping Tom improve his performance on and off the ice."
- Laura Nelson, Mother of goalie Tom Wilson, Lunenburg High School
"I feel Cam's participation in your summer program helped give him an edge. He was stronger and his foot speed was noticeably faster. Thanks Alex for the attention you gave him. We'll see you again next year!"
- Claude Maillet, Father of Cam Maillet, Leominster High School
"Five of my players went to Alex's camp, and I could tell the difference on the ice. They're much stronger on their feet, harder to knock off the puck, and they're faster. Their skating was so improved that I approached Alex and we set up an in-season program. It was easy for me to notice the results from watching them perform on the ice."
- Jean-Guy Gagnon, Head Ice Hockey Coach, Gardner High School
"Alex has the right personality to work with both young and older athletes and bring out the best in them. I would recommend his program to anyone looking for results in sport training."
- Matt Tyson, Former Director of Fitness, Healthtrax Fitness and Wellness
"The strength that Curtis was able to achieve over the summer with Alex really showed on the ice. Alex helped Curtis develop strength, balance, agility and increased speed. With Alex's knowledge of the game, his hockey specific exercises helped Curtis achieve his goal of playing varsity hockey. I would recommend Alex's Strength and Conditioning training for anyone who wants to step up their game".
- Karen Nikitas, Mother of Curtis Nikitas, St. Bernard's High School
"Alex did an outstanding job as a strength and conditioning coach while I was playing at AIC. His individualized workouts really helped me work on the parts of my game that needed attention, and I saw a big change when pre-season strength testing came along. I am once again working with Alex because I'm confident that he will get me in the best shape possible before going to camp this fall."
- Jeff Valdes, former AIC captain, professional hockey player
