YOUTH ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

Empowering Parents of Young Champions

Build Speed, Strength & Confidence — Safely & Injury Free

Give your child the tools to move better, perform stronger, and reduce their risk of injury. Our Youth Athletic Development Program is designed to help young athletes (15+) unlock their athletic potential through AFL-standard testing, tailored training, and measurable results.

Why Young Athletes Need Athletic Development

Most young athletes want to:

  • Sprint faster and accelerate harder.
  • Side-step sharper and jump higher.
  • Stay injury-free while training and competing.

But without the right foundation, many plateau, get frustrated, or worse — get sidelined with preventable injuries.
Every young athlete deserves a clear, safe pathway to perform at their best.

Our Proven 4-Step Pathway:

We combine objective testing with personalised coaching so progress is measurable, not guesswork.

1️⃣ Initial Interview & Screening
We review injury history, training maturity, and current loads.

2️⃣ Objective Testing
AFL-standard technology (VALD) to identify strength, power, and movement deficits.

3️⃣ Tailored Training Program
Individualised 6–12 week program (twice-weekly sessions) built around your child’s goals.

4️⃣ Retesting & Monitoring
Mid-point and final retesting with clear reports so you can see the gains.

What Your Child Will Gain

  • Improved speed, agility, and explosive power
  • Stronger, more resilient muscles and joints
  • Reduced injury risk during sport and training
  • Confidence from measurable progress
  • A foundation for long-term sporting success

Limited spots available each term to ensure quality coaching.
