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.
