Does anyone have any recommendations for materials to use to train staff on training/battling ropes?
Ashley, I have found that the National Sports and Conditioning Association to be a wonderful source for activities related to sports and athletics conditioning.
In fact they will soon have their 2011 Conference and at the conference someone by the name of Colin Aina, CSCS will present “Training with Ropes and Speed Ladders. Juan Carlos Santana of IHP Fitness is another individual you might want to refer to as a resource as far as you inquiry is concerned.
FYI, The NSCA CSCS credential is a credential the American Council of Exercise requires candidates who wish to teach ACE Functional Training and Sports Conditioning Works to have.
I sure hope this is helpful to you.
