LTAD Sport-Specific (8-13years)
Build strong, confident, & resilient young athletes
Athletes attend in a supervised group setting, completing their own individual program specific to their sporting activity. The program has been prescribed by their practitioner based on their goals, injury history and testing results. These programs are updated every 4-6 weeks.
what they will learn
Whether your child is aiming to compete at a higher level or simply wants to feel fitter, faster, and more confident, our structured, progressive sessions are the perfect stepping stone.
Each session is built around functional training, age-appropriate strength work, agility drills, and cardiovascular conditioning. We also introduce training principles to help young athletes understand the “why” behind what they’re doing. As well as improving their physical abilities, participants will develop key life skills such as discipline, goal-setting, and a strong mindset—lessons that carry over into both sport and everyday life.
Our experienced coaches provide individual guidance and ensure every session is safe, supportive, and tailored to the needs of growing bodies.
