Sports Performance training is available at Court One Athletic Clubs!
Ages 8-11
During this important time in a child’s life, youth athletes need to gain core strength, balance and agility. The body is primed for new information and ready to ingrain new movement patterns. These sessions are designed to introduce and create foundations of overall athleticism in a fun, positive environment.
Our Youth curriculum places a high priority on coordination, balance, agility, accuracy and flexibility. Body weight strength and the introduction of essential muscular movement patterns are key at this developmental stage. Technique and repetition is stressed along with the importance of preparing to work out and cooling down after a workout. These are important in establishing a child’s athletic foundation for improved performance, injury prevention, and long-term sports participation.
Ages 12-14
Not forgetting the foundation we have just built in your athletes earlier years, here we start to work on cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, power, speed, strength and stamina. These Athletes have discovered the importance of developing neuromuscular patterns and increasing working on accuracy and coordination with increased repetition. This program focuses on progressing and maintaining athletic movement while refining and ingraining fundamental skills of speed, agility, and power. This repeated rehearsal leads to permanent and positive athletic change.
The inclusion of formal Strength and Power training provides benefits in two ways. First, proper movement techniques with increased force production lead to maximized potential. Secondly, as athletes naturally increase in height, weight, strength and aggressiveness, the need for improved joint integrity and flexibility is vital for reducing the chance of injury.
Ages 15+
Most athletes in this age group have developed neuromuscular patterns and the fundamental skills of speed, agility, and power. Now technique is fine-tuned, and the final pieces to build the total athlete are provided. At this point we need to determine an athlete’s weaknesses and attack them through constantly varied functional movements. Both intensity and frequency are key at this developmental state. Focus on Strength and Power increases with moderate and heavy loads to optimize power output. Nutrition is also key at this stage. Your athlete will learn about how to fuel a hardworking, growing body.
