Youth Athlete Development

Structured, progressive strength and conditioning for athletes aged 9–16, aimed at improving athleticism and reducing injury risk. Develop fundamental movement patterns, strength, power, speed, balance, coordination and overall physical literacy, to meet the demands of sport.

The Benefits For Your Child

Learn Fundamental Movement Skills


Develop basic movement literacy and fundamental movement skills through fun games. Fundamental movements include running, jumping, agility, balance, coordination and speed.

Reduce the Risk of Future Injury


Growing children are at increased risk of growth-plate injuries. Minimise this risk by progressively developing strength, mobility & control, and adjust training appropriately during periods of rapid growth.

Improve Running Mechanics & Speed


Improve running mechanics and speed by combining targeted strength training with progressive running drills. Learn how to decelerate, accelerate and change direction quickly and efficiently.

Increase Strength & Confidence


Develop full-body strength through structured resistance training. Increased strength improves injury resilience and boosts confidence during sport.

A comprehensive baseline assessment (profiling) establishes your current physical status. Findings from this assessment inform the design & content of both your gym-based and on-field/on-court training sessions. Ongoing evaluations monitor progress & allow for timely adjustments to your training programme as required.
