The Parkland Student Athlete Academy Powerlifting Stream at EATS is a specialized pathway for student-athletes in Spruce Grove and Stony Plain who are ready to dedicate themselves to the "Big Three": the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift.

The PSAA Powerlifting Stream is a specialized pathway for student-athletes in Spruce Grove and Stony Plain who are ready to dedicate themselves to the "Big Three": the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. Using the proven E.A.T.S. Method, our Powerlifting stream focuses on technical mastery, neurological development, and peak force production. This isn't just about moving weight; it’s about the science of strength. We provide a structured, competitive environment where students learn the discipline of a professional lifter while maintaining their academic edge.
Powerlifting is a game of millimeters. Our coaches prioritize safe, efficient form above all else. Before a student adds weight to the bar, they master the mechanics of the movement to ensure long-term health and maximum performance.
Students train during the school day at our elite facility. By surrounding themselves with other high-performance athletes, they build a culture of accountability. In this stream, your "teammates" are the ones spotting your heaviest sets and pushing you to find a new gear.
We don’t guess; we measure. Athletes in the Powerlifting stream utilize data-driven programming that accounts for fatigue management, CNS recovery, and hypertrophy—all designed to peak for performance milestones.
Open to Parkland School Division students in Grades 10–12 (High School Crew) who want to specialize in strength sports or significantly increase their base power for other sports.
While a background in sport is helpful, the PSAA Powerlifting Stream is designed to take athletes from "Learn to Train" to "Elite Performance." Whether you are touching a barbell for the first time or prepping for a provincial meet, we scale the program to your level.
Training sessions are integrated into the PSAA school day.
• High School: Students are responsible for transport to EATS; PSAA provides transport back to SGCHS or MCHS.
High School Crew: $328 + GST per month (Fees include programming, transportation, and PSAA apparel.)
Don't wait for the next season to get strong. The PSAA Powerlifting Stream is your opportunity to turn your passion for strength into a high-performance lifestyle.
