Description

The goal of youth athletic development is to develop healthy, capable, and resilient young athletes. Players who are exposed to a structured physical program express more movement efficiency, coordination, and stability in their movements, compared to those who are not. As a result, players can become faster, stronger, powerful, and more agile in their sporting experience.

In this course, we will highlight 3 stages: Foundation Stage, Development Stage, and the Performance Stage. We will focus on the starting point, the Foundational Stage which will lay the groundwork for future work in sport-specific demands and training demands.
