6 Week Youth Speed and Agility Program for U12 Athletes

The kids will be tested in basic strength an conditioning appropriate for youth athletes to keep it fun yet challenging.

In case you are unfamiliar with my background, I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with years of coaching and athletic experience. Before moving here to Exeter, I sold my very successful Sports Performance Training facility. I don’t coach the kids in soccer or their specific sport (that is the role of their sport coaches), I focus on making them better athletes so they can excel in their sport. I have coached athletes of all levels from a middle school girl’s basketball team, high school teams, numerous college players, several professional athletes and even an Olympian.

My focus in this age group is teaching proper movement. Things like running mechanics, speed, agility, footwork, general strength, cardiovascular endurance, and injury prevention. You may or may not be aware, but ACL injuries are incredibly common in preteen and teenage girls. While nothing can absolutely prevent these injuries, girls can train to strengthen their movement in multiple planes of motion to lessen the likelihood of injury. This is where my background separates me from the rest of pack. Obviously with my daughter now in this age group, I am even more passionate in seeing her and the girls (boys are welcome too!) excel while remaining injury free. We will play games, have a ton of fun, and get our kids ready to kill the spring season!

The general training approach I follow to build up my athletes is a pyramid with proper movement patterns at the base, followed by strength and conditioning followed by sport specific skills.

The kids will be tested in basic strength an conditioning appropriate for youth athletes to keep it fun yet challenging. Things like broad jump, shuttle run test, pro agility and more!
