ATHLETIC
DEVELOPMENT

Our Speed Demons program is the starting point in athletic development for our youngest athletes. The focus is on learning the ABC's of movement:

​

• Agility

• Balance

• Coordination

These core skills lay the groundwork for all sports and athletic endeavors. Through games, obstacle courses, and free play, children improve their physical capabilities while having fun. This early training helps them develop strength, coordination, and overall athleticism, setting the stage for a lifetime of movement success.

Ages 8-11 are known as the "golden age" of skill development, where young athletes are primed to make exceptional improvements in their athletic abilities. Our Youth Athletic Development program emphasizes:

​

• Balance

• Coordination

• Strength

• Agility

• Reaction time

By using fun and engaging activities like gymnastics, parkour, ninja warrior-style exercises, and track and field drills, we build well-rounded athletes. Our goal is to improve their athletic potential while creating a strong foundation for future training and sports participation.

As athletes transition into middle school, we introduce them to more advanced training, focusing on two key components:

​

• Strength development

• Speed training

​

This program marks their first step into organized strength and conditioning. Key aspects include proper warm-up routines, flexibility work, jumping and landing mechanics, and an introduction to athletic strength training. Learning proper lifting techniques at an early age creates a solid base for continued athletic progress.

Research shows that initiating strength and conditioning activities during pre-adolescence and maintaining them into adolescence maximizes training age and potential. In simple terms, this approach creates a more well-rounded athlete, enhancing performance in all sports.

For high school athletes looking to take their performance to the next level, our High School Strength and Conditioning program is designed to address all aspects of athletic development. Sessions are held three days a week for 1.5 hours, focusing on:

​

• Movement assessments to develop individualized training programs

• Injury prevention

• Flexibility

• Speed and agility development

• Jumping ability and explosive power

• Strength training

• Conditioning

Athletes are encouraged to participate in at least three sessions per week to maximize their results. By addressing each athlete's unique needs, we ensure they develop strength, speed, and overall athleticism to excel in their sport.
