A clear structure to follow
Based on the science of Long Term Athletic Development and more than 20 years of experience, the programming will help both teach your child how to perform safely in the gym, improve their running technique and speed on the field or court. The program can be done at home with modified loads such as homemade sandbags, kettlebells or dumbbells.

Improve your Strength
Strength is the one ability that will help all other abilities. We want to teach you how to be stronger, safely and this program has links to instructional videos, and a platform that you can speak to our coaches to ask questions. We offer 1-1 virtual sessions as an additional service for parents and children who want that little bit extra support and guidance.

Improve Speed
"Speed wins games" according to many coaches, including Phil Gould, noted Rugby League Coach. We will provide structured support and programming to assist your child to develop speed technique, straight line speed, change of direction and an improved ability to make an impact on the sporting field or court.

Start the Training Process right
There are no fanciful claims with this programming. This programming is based on the start of a journey, to enable your child to get to a high level over time. Consistency of application in almost anything in life is critical. We start the process right, give you some clear benchmarks to get to, so you know where you are going.

FAQs
Who is this for?
This is for athletes in general aged between 12-15 years of age, who are starting their journey in strength and conditoning.
What if the days do not work for me?
You can move the days of training to what suits you during the week. They are not fixed! If you have any questions about this please let us know and this is easy to show you.
What should I expect?
This is NOT a bodybuilding program. It is a program designed to make sure that young athletes are exposed to a good variety of movement patterns, to develop core movement foundations and it is balanced across the different physical qualities that athletes need.
Is this specific to my sport?
Sport Specific Training is a bit of a myth. What Strength and Conditioning does is to build GENERAL qualities first, then specific later on. When you are young we want to build these general qualities really well so that later through your teenage years and into adulthood you are really adaptable.
