Does your child love sport? Are they ready to take their athletic performance to the next level? The Bracknell Youth S&C Academy provides professional strength and conditioning training for young athletes from all sports, helping them build the physical foundation they need to excel.

Why Strength & Conditioning Matters for Young Athletes

The earlier, the better: Research shows that "if kids wait until adolescence to get strong, they are 10 years too late." When children are ready for sport (ages 5-7), they're ready for strength activities. Starting early gives young athletes the best chance to reach their full potential.

The Adolescent Window of Opportunity: Strength and power training during peak growth periods is essential for reaching true athletic potential. The unique increases in neural plasticity and hormone circulation during adolescent growth facilitate enhanced training adaptations that cannot be replicated later in life.

Injury Prevention: Young athletes who participate in structured strength and conditioning are significantly less likely to sustain injuries when playing their chosen sports.

Is S&C Safe for Children? Absolutely!

Lower injury rates: Research shows that gym-based injury rates in supervised youth strength training are much lower compared to most youth team sports.

Proper supervision: All sessions are professionally supervised with age-appropriate programming that focuses on movement quality, fun, and gradual progression.

Evidence-based approach: Our programs are built on extensive research in pediatric exercise science, ensuring safe and effective training for all age groups.
