Develop and support your child’s Athletic Foundation

We combine functional strength training with plyometrics, jumping, and movement work to build the qualities young athletes need most: strength, power, speed, coordination, and agility.

The goal is to create well-rounded athletes who can move efficiently, produce force, and control their bodies in different situations. By developing these foundations early, athletes are better prepared to perform across any sport while building the strength and durability needed to handle the demands of training and competition.

our focus

STRENGTH
Performing powerful movements against resistance
POWER
Exerting force quickly, combining strength and speed
AGILITY
Changing direction quickly and effectively
ENDURANCE
Sustaining physical and mental effort for prolonged periods

Long Term Development

The Youth Training Academy is built around consistency, relationships and long-term athlete development. Our goal is to work with athletes over time and continually progress their training as they grow.

That’s why new athletes are only accepted when spots become available. Keeping the program intentionally limited allows us to provide consistent coaching, build strong relationships with each athlete, and focus on meaningful long-term development.

My son loves football and wrestling so this program has been excellent at complementing the skills he needs for both sports. He is physically stronger and has gained more confidence. He loves going every week and the coaches are fantastic and they make it both fun and challenging!
Working with Jarret and Brandon has helped Will realize that when you dedicate yourself to working on your speed, power, and coordination you will get better at sports. The work he has put into his body and mind has already shown dividends on the football field, basketball court and baseball diamond.
I am so impressed and blown away with how much Max’s endurance and agility has increased. Not only has his skills increased but so has his confidence in the sports world and in real life. Max originally joined as an extra source of exercise but walked away with a new found love in fitness.
