31 Delaware State Strength & Conditioning

It is the mission of the DSU strength and conditioning program to maximize agility, speed and strength and decrease the potential for injury in a manner that is safe and intense for each student-athlete. In this regard, year long strength and conditioning programs at DSU are designed specific to each student-athlete. Each program is tailored to be sport and position-specific by assessing the muscular and metabolic demands of the respective sport. Pro- grams are evaluated and monitored continuously and adjusted as neces- sary to reach optimal gains.

Delaware State University student-athletes benefit from a first-rate strength and conditioning facility. The first phase of DSU’s $50 million Strength and Conditioning/Wellness Center/Student Union opened during the fall of 2008. A dedication ceremony for the facility was attended by local and state elected officials and many former Delaware State student-ath- letes, including Philadelphia Eagles starting center Jamal Jackson and former NFL standout Darnerien McCants. The strength and conditioning center is a 17,000 square feet, state-of-the-art complex with all the amenities of a major college facility. The center is connected to the north end of the Memorial Hall main gymnasium, and is solely for use by DSU student- athletes. The facility includes a strength and conditioning area, laundry room, offices for conditioning coaches and locker rooms for men’s and women’s basketball. The facility features a two-story entry and lobby, ticketing area and 9,000 square feet of open strength and conditioning space. Phase II involves the construction of a two-story wellness center specifically for the general student population and the public. Construction began in August 2007 and is slated to be completed in the winter of 2009. First floor plans include the renovation of the existing auxiliary gymnasium and the construction of a new basketball court, as well as offices, con- cession space, women’s and men’s locker rooms and a pool. The second floor will feature a fitness and weight training area (featuring mainly Nautilus equipment), and a track that will run through the fitness and weight training area, and above the basketball court.
