"SPARQ" your athleticism

SPARQ is the focus of the Tomball Kings Athletic Performance Program: development of Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, and Quickness. We offer this program in partnership with Missing Element at its training facility in Spring.

The program is suitable for student-athletes in high school, junior high, and elementary school, and open to boys and girls.

Schedule

Students choose three training days per week to fit their schedule, Monday through Friday, with a choice of these starting times:

We do not require that you choose the same starting time each training day, but recommend consistency to the extent possible.

Each training session typically lasts an hour, but the 8:00 AM session often lasts up to two hours.

For best results participants should train three days each week.

Purpose

Improving athletic performance and fitness is a prime focus of the Tomball Kings organization. So important is this program goal that over the course of each year, we devote more time and energy to athleticism development than we do even to baseball-skills training.

Our concern is not merely for our high school and junior high players, who play our most competitive schedules.

We are alarmed by an undeniable, societal trend away from regular, outdoor play. We have too many students entering elementary-school-age programs who cannot do a push-up, run a lap around the baseball field, tolerate the summer heat, or even play catch.

A solid, athletic foundation is essential to sports performance and competitiveness, but also to lifelong health and well-being. We therefore devote considerable resources to developing affordable, high-quality, athletic-performance programs, not just for our players but also for their families.

About Missing Element

Led by retired NFL player Mister Alexander and former Sam Houston State football and track athlete Magic Robinson, Missing Element opened a new, superbly-equipped, indoor and outdoor training facility in August 2023, just minutes from our Farm League Park practice fields.

In addition to Coaches Alexander and Robinson, Missing Element coaches include other former professional and college football players and certified track and field experts. In combination, these coaches and trainers have elite-level knowledge of the latest techniques and best practices that will be transformative for every student-athlete who takes seriously the opportunity to learn and train under them.

About the program

The Athletic Performance Program is comprehensive in nature and emphasizes the mind-body-spirit connection.

In this program players will learn proper posture and the relationship between posture and power generation.

Through hard work and training under the leadership of their coaches, players will improve their power output, speed, quickness, maximal strength, ability to change direction, and ability to absorb impact.

Students will also learn about metabolism, and how sound nutrition and training can improve metabolism and prevent disease.

Training format

Each training session will include players of mixed ages, but the training that any particular player receives will be age-appropriate. That is, we do not expect five-year-olds to follow training protocols for fifteen-year-olds.

To promote competitiveness and player development, training groups will include athletes from multiple sports and other schools, space permitting, whenever possible.

Tuition and payments

Tuition is $99.00 per month for the first student-athlete from each household. Tuition for each participating sibling of the primary student will be $25.00 per month. Tuition is paid monthly, directly to Missing Element via automatic bank draft. This pricing is available only to Tomball Kings student-athletes and siblings.

All students must make a minimum, initial commitment of six months. Thereafter, students continue on a month-to-month basis. Students may withdraw during the initial, six-month period, but will be charged 25% of the remaining monthly balance during that initial, six-month period.

Please notify Missing Element thirty days in advance if you plan to withdraw from the program.

Facility and location

Missing Element provides excellent, indoor and outdoor training facilities and equipment at 7315 Five Forks Drive, Spring TX 77379 [map]. It is only minutes from Farm League Park.

What to wear and bring

Wear work-out clothes and shoes (cleats and gym) and bring at least 48 ounces of water to each class.

Punctuality

Please be on time for each class. Late arrivals are disruptive to the class and counterproductive for the student-athlete who is late.

Should you ever need to miss or be late for a class, please notify Coach Alexander as soon as you know. This will help the coaches and trainers avoid setting up stations that will go unused. Missing Element will provide you with access to an app for such communications.

Commitment

Please commit to regular attendance. Missing classes will deny players information, knowledge, skills, experiences, and adaptations that they will need as athletes. Regular attendance will produce the best results and greatest advancement. We do understand that students may need to miss classes from time to time, of course, for family vacations and other fall activities.
