Programs

Our youth programming is designed as age-appropriate training, with a multi sport emphasis and an emphasis on long term athletic development.

Kids:

• The Fundamentals program (<8 years old) is based on teaching fundamental athletic movement patterns and creating a fun and safe training environment. Training includes introducing body weight movement patterns and progressions, body control and coordination, and building self-confidence through sport and play.
• The Jump Start program (8-11 years old) builds upon the fundamentals program by continuing to teach fundamental athletic movement patterns while introducing basic safe strength principles. Training includes introducing body weight movement patterns and progressions, body control and coordination, building self-confidence and improving mobility and flexibility. This also includes an introduction to power movements such as jumping and landing, acceleration and deceleration, and linear and multi-planar speed.
• The D1 Program (12-15 years old) teaches and introduces safe basic strength, speed and power progressions. This multi sport program emphasizes efficiency of movement while continuing to build strength, flexibility/mobility, power, multi-planar speed, and conditioning when appropriate.
• The D2 Program (16-18 years old) is a comprehensive performance program based on sound scientific principles and progressions. This multi sport program emphasizes efficiency of movement while building strength, flexibility/mobility, power, multi-planar speed, and conditioning when appropriate. This program includes increasing the athletes ability to safely load strength patterns and power movements.
• The Team Training program is designed to build and develop team chemistry through comprehensive sport specific training and progressions. This program could include, but is not limited to, youth academy teams, middle school or high school teams, or adult recreational teams. This program has a high performance training approach which will cater the training around the age of the athlete, the physiological demands of the sport and the time of the year.
