Youth sports have literally exploded over the last decade. More and more of our children are participating in sports at a younger age. Many parents and athletes want to enhance their performance as much as possible, and some are even seeking out sports performance programs to help develop their athleticism.
At SPTW our youth programs are built using the same principles as our professional athletes. Every athlete should focus on full athletic development by working to enhance their mobility, speed, agility, strength, power, and endurance
However, youth sports performance programs should not be just “smaller” versions of the programs we perform with our older athletes. The difference lies between the focuses of the program.
Youth athletes need to establish the basic building blocks of fundamental movement skills. This assures that they create an excellent foundation of athleticism to build upon as they mature.
Youth athletes need to focus on what we call the “ABC’s” of performance training. This stands for:
A – Agility
B – Balance
C – Coordination
Our youth athletes will focus on all the components of athleticism that are age appropriate, however we work on their ABC’s of movement as the primary focus to assure we are working on complete athletic development. You do not want to perform the same strengthening exercises that the older athletes perform if you have not developed the ability to move and control your body well.
