What is the Aquila Barbell Club?
The Aquila Barbell Club is designed for students [and parents] of Emmanuel Christian School, both male and female, to learn and participate in the sport of weightlifting.
-
The sport of weightlifting is contested along the lines of gender, age, and weight classes. This allows for anyone, of any age, and experience to participate.
In addition to students at Emmanuel Christian School, this club is also open to members and attenders of Emmanuel Baptist Church as well as our local homeschool community.
-
This program is designed by our very own, Kim Fairley (Isaiah's mom) who is an experienced lifter and USA Weightlifting Level One Coach.
She is also assisted by USA Certified Level One Coach, Amanda Brown (Cohen and ElaiaGrace's mom). -
Ages 6-9 - Mondays & Thursdays from 5:30-6pm
Ages 10+ - Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays from 6-6:30p

There are a number of benefits to Olympic lifting. In addition to giving our kids an additional competitive outlet, we also believe that weightlifting will enhance our strength and conditioning for all of our athletic programs.
You can read more about the benefits of weightlifting on the Team USA Weightlifting page...
