The sessions are fun and for all abilities, with a focus on providing a wide base of athletic development. Including running and jumping mechanics, power, strength, and speed development.

1:1 Youth Coaching
In our 1:1 sessions we individualise our coaching to focus on both their base of athletic development skills, as well as their individual needs and goals. This is based on their age, current phase of development, movement screening and current strength & fitness levels. We use our extensive experience to regress and progress exercises as needed to enable them to improve as quickly and safely as possible.

Foundation Group (8-12)
Our foundation groups focus on improving overall youth athletic development through improving movement mechanics (e.g. running, jumping, landing), as well as speed, agility, & power. We also introduce basic strength training to learn correct technique of bodyweight and light dumbbell exercises for example. These groups are capped at 10 children maximum to maintain high quality coaching, progress, and safety.
