Teens Functional Training
Term 2 Dates:
Monday 29th April - Saturday 6th July (10 weeks)
The teens functional strength program is developed for pre-teens and teens 11+ and utilises developmentally appropriate resistance training to enhance sports performance, engagement in physical activity and support growth and development throughout the crucial teenage years.
Our groups are small, and the program is individualised, which means each participant is kept in their comfort zone by making the programming challenging, but achievable. Yet still has a sense of belonging, training alongside others.
The transition from primary school to high school, and high school to young adult hood, sees the largest dropout from physical activity of any age group. Research shows, that empowering teens with movement awareness and movement competency increases the likelihood of a lifetime of habitual physical activity.
Who will this program suit:
The non-engager
Those not remotely interested in competitive sport and/or physical activity
The participator
Those who love sports & physical activity, but may need help with coordination/fitness/strength
The injury prone
Those who love their sport, but may spend more time on the sidelines due to injury
The mini-athlete
Those who are playing a high level of sport, but need an extra performance boost, or prevention of injuries
Around the start of maturation, a child's bones will grow faster than their connective tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. At this time, you may notice that they lose coordination, strength and power, and may be more susceptible to injuries such as severs, osgood schlatters, and other joint injuries. It takes the keen eye of a coach, parent, teacher or strength and conditioning expert to notice this change, adapt and perhaps take the individual back to basics. Skills they had once mastered, may now be very hard, and movement will be compromised.
