<\/hr>
Strength and Conditioning is an essential piece of the footballing training journey. As football is a multidirectional sport in which incorporates strength, speed, agility, acceleration, and deceleration it is important that as athletes we aim to improve all these elements. Keeping injury free is also key for the junior athlete to thrive. Building a robust body to cope with the demands of both training and fixtures ensures we stay on the pitch and maximise our potential.\n<\/div>

Our athletes still learn the importance of body awareness and continue to incorporate a variety of skills int their training but implementing this into a structured routine and plan can ensure that the athletes\u2019 bodies are being well prepared for everything physical that comes with a football season.\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Advanced<\/div>As our athletes reach advanced levels are training becomes further structured around the busy sporting calendar, and our strength skills and movements begin to increase in load. This can help to build strength, power, and speed further. Beginning to introduce basic force absorption and production training means our athletes are becoming more and more ready for the increased demands of sport. When we reach the more advanced stage, we will challenge our young footballers to develop an understanding of the importance of creating a \u2018training mindset\u2019 to assist them in excelling.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Athlete<\/div>As our young footballers continue on the path to becoming an athlete, we want to challenge them further and ensure they have a high level of competence in all the major strength skills. More difficulty in force absorption and production training can allow for greater physical development, while we want all of our players to understand what it takes to train effectively at a high level. At the athlete stage we are preparing our players and athletes for step up into senior football.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE BUNDLE<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/hr>

The Youth Athlete strength & conditioning plan is simple and easy to follow. It's designed for youth athletes starting strength & conditioning for the first time who want to get an athletic edge in sport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The overall goal for this training plan is to increase strength, speed and fitness while decreasing injury risk. We have split this plan into three segments, and every section is four weeks in length with varied and progressive exercises, drills and challenges. Together they create a twelve-week programme that aims to prepare young athletes for the rigours of their sport.<\/p><\/div>
