Who It's For
Start here—this page is your roadmap. Pick the option below that matches your athlete’s age, schedule, and goals to see full details, pricing, and how to enroll.
HS Athlete
Train Like a Champion. Designed for competitive high school athletes, this 8-week program builds sport-specific strength, power, and resilience. Our expert coaches focus on injury prevention, movement quality, and measurable performance—each cycle includes VALD performance testing and InBody body composition scans at the start and end so athletes can see their progress and stay ahead, whether they’re preparing for college recruitment or dominating this season.
Travel/Club Team
Travel/Club Team Training is strength & conditioning for teams (or partial teams) of 8–12 athletes training together, twice per week. Programming is built around your sport and your season—pre-season, in-season, post-season, and off-season—with evening and weekend options to fit busy schedules. Each 8-week training package includes VALD performance testing and InBody body composition analysis at the start and end of the cycle, so athletes and coaches can see measurable progress.
Home School
Home School Strength & Conditioning is a coach-led daytime program for homeschool students who need a structured, positive way to be active and build healthy habits. We develop strength, coordination, and confidence through age-appropriate training and fun, progress-based challenges—without the pressure of “sports training.”
We’ll Help You Choose the Right Track
Inside our performance facility, youth training starts with the right match—age, maturity, goals, and schedule.
- High School Athletes: performance-driven training for competitive athletes (8-week cycles with measurable progress)
- Travel/Club Teams: sport- and season-specific training for groups of 8–12 (evenings/weekends)
- Home School S&C: a structured daytime program for overall athleticism—no pressure, just progress
What age groups do you work with?
We work with youth athletes across multiple stages of development, typically from middle school through high school, and we also offer youth options like homeschool strength & conditioning. The best fit depends on training maturity, sport demands, and coaching needs—so we’ll help place each athlete in the right environment.
Is this safe for beginners / younger athletes?
es—when it’s coached correctly. Our youth training emphasizes movement quality, technique, and progressive strength development. Beginners start with fundamentals (bodyweight patterns, light loading, control, and coordination) and earn progression over time. The goal is to build strength and confidence safely, not rush intensity.
How many days per week is ideal in-season vs off-season?
A simple guideline:
In-season: 1–2 days per week to maintain strength, support durability, and reduce injury risk while managing fatigue.
Off-season / pre-season: 2–4 days per week to build strength, power, and athletic capacity.
The “right” number depends on the sport calendar, practice volume, and the athlete’s training age. We’ll help you choose a schedule that supports performance without overloading the athlete.
Do you coordinate with sport coaches or PTs?
Yes. If an athlete has an in-season plan, a sport coach’s priorities, or is working with a physical therapist, we can coordinate training goals and constraints. We’re happy to align on what to emphasize, what to avoid, and how to progress—so everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Can you test performance (jump, strength, asymmetries)?
Yes. We offer performance assessments using VALD tools to establish objective baselines and track progress over time. Testing can include measures related to power (jump testing), strength, and asymmetries, and we use results to guide training priorities and retesting plans.

What should parents expect?
Parents can expect a professional, structured environment focused on:
Coaching and accountability (not “open gym”)
Technique-first training with safe progressions
A long-term development mindset (durability and confidence matter)
Clear communication on what we’re working on and why
Our goal is to help athletes become stronger, more resilient, and more capable—whether they’re pursuing college sports or simply building confidence and athleticism for life.
Will this help with speed?
Yes—when speed is trained the right way. We improve speed by building the inputs that matter: strength, power, and efficient mechanics. Depending on the athlete, that can include sprint technique drills, acceleration work, and strength training that improves force production and stiffness/tendon capacity. We keep it age-appropriate and progress based on readiness—so athletes get faster without chasing sloppy reps or unnecessary fatigue.
How do you group athletes?
We group athletes primarily by age and training readiness, then adjust for sport demands and experience level. The goal is to keep coaching appropriate and progress consistent—beginners need fundamentals and high coaching attention, while more experienced athletes can handle more complexity and intensity. Sport matters too (e.g., baseball vs soccer vs football), but strong fundamentals translate across sports, so we focus on the basics first and layer in sport-relevant emphasis as athletes progress.
