Youth Athletic Development
A 2-3 day/week comprehensive 60-minute program that is designed for athletes of all sports. The first 30 minutes of the workout is spent on movement and power which includes an active warm up, linear and lateral speed development, power development, quickness, plyometrics (jumping), and core strengthening. The second part of the workout is dedicated to explosive power and strength, increasing overall body strength and various forms of conditioning.
The workout consists of functionally sound movement and strength training with a strong focus on basic and proper technique. The workout becomes progressively more challenging once basic movements have been mastered.
New for Fall 2023 – an additional weekly workout on Fridays at 5:15 pm called Speed School. Speed school will incorporate many of the speed, power and agility training we already do in the regular YAD program, but it will allow us more time with each component. Athletes can sign up for this special Friday class as either a second or third workout with their normal YAD training OR a stand-alone 1x/week training option.
NOTE: If your child is currently in season with a sport, we’re now allowing athletes to enroll in a 1x/week program to promote better after-school balance.
What we work on:

Strength
Functional approach using bars, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls and body weight.

Power
Plyometrics, medicine ball, jumping & landing techniques (We also record and track vertical jump max with automated testing equipment.)

Speed
Acceleration, Deceleration, Linear and Lateral Movement Techniques, Running Mechanics, Footwork (We also record and track 40 meter dash and 10 meter flys with our automated timing system.)
