Youth Athletic Development Program
This program introduces athletes ages 13–15 to fundamental strength and coordination training in a supervised weight room setting. Designed to support long-term athletic development, this program focuses on building physical literacy, body control, and movement confidence through age-appropriate strength and resistance-based activities.
Athletes will learn foundational movement patterns such as squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and bracing, with a strong emphasis on technique, posture, and control.
Led by qualified coaches in a supportive setting, this program lays the groundwork for future athletic training by helping athletes build the physical tools needed to train safely and effectively. It’s ideal for athletes new to the weight room or those looking to improve strength and movement in a developmentally appropriate way.
