About Us Weightlifting

The Club Weightlifting program is one of the most established club sport programs that we have here at Sacred Heart. Starting in 2008, along with Club Sports, the team is a registered club with USA Weightlifting and the New England Local Weightlifting Committee. The team represents the Sacred Heart in the sport of Olympic-Style Weightlifting.

Practicing 3-4 times per week in the new home of Club Sports, the Bobby Valentine Health & Recreation Center, where members freely come in through the afternoon to work with Coach Taber on each Olympic style lift. Team members range from experienced to novice, so new members are welcome to join at any part during the semester. Throughout the school year, the team will look to compete at regional competitions and potentially host one for other schools here at SHU. Coach Taber is also certified to coach through USA Weightlifting and is also a professor on campus.

If you are looking to join or interested in more information, please reach out to Head Weightlifting Coach Chris Taber at taberc@sacredheart.edu.
