Youth Sport Conditioning (10-15yrs)
For youth who are focused on performance and excelling at sport, conditioning is ideal. In fact, conditioning has proven beneficial for young athletes to help develop strength, balance, coordination, speed, power, flexibility and agility. Continuing with athletic conditioning has also helped athletes become more resilient to injury or bounce back sooner. Conditioning programs should be instructed by a knowledgeable and qualified trainer that will take into account their rapidly changing bodies and consider how to develop their specific skills for their sport.
