Rigorous Athletics Youth Development

Featured

Dear Parents and Coaches,

In the world of youth athletics (we’re talking elementary through high school) we’ve seen very little emphasis in teaching the basic bodyweight movements such as the squat, push-up, pull-up, and box jump. It’s absolutely essential young athletes truly learn these foundational movements.

Once learned, our older athletes learn the progressions to the “slow” barbell movements (press, deadlift) as well as the dynamic Olympic lifts (clean and jerk, and snatch variations).

 With each training/coaching session, your child will learn and review the basic bodyweight exercises and progress to learning drills, skill movements, and controlling external objects (medicine ball, slam balls, sandbags, tires, etc).
