Youth Athlete
Training (Ages 8 – 14)
(click on image to enlarge)
Contrary to a lot of myths and beliefs, starting young kids on a properly
designed and supervised fitness program will go a long way towards
improving confidence and performance in sport. It will also help reduce
the potential risk of injury especially in kids who play a rigorous, year
round schedule full of travel and club sports. Besides the benefits of
performance in sport, it is always a good idea to establish sound fitness
and wellness habits at a young age.
Our sessions for youth athletes are 90 minutes in length and consist of a
movement based warm-up, footwork and coordination drilling, acceleration,
deceleration and change of direction concepts, age- appropriate strength
and core exercises and flexibility training. All sessions are led by one
of our strength and conditioning coaches or trainers and involve a
tremendous amount of teaching and feedback. Even though the sessions are
conducted in group atmosphere, every athlete will receive individualized
instruction and a strength program designed specifically for their needs.
We highly recommend that our beginner athletes train at least twice per
week for a duration of at least 2 months. We understand that most young
kids are busy with 1 – 2 sports at all times, but if you want to see a
dramatic change in athleticism and fitness, then you have to make the
commitment to be here consistently.
