Advance Youth Strength & Conditioning Platform for Football

To play football at the highest level requires that each player can meet the demands of the game.  In the professional game, the total distance (km) the payer has covered is often reported.  In elite youth players (relative to position), each player can cover distances of 9 - 12km.  What is not frequently reported are the motor performances that make up that 9 - 12km

• Jogging 

• High-speed running 

• Accelerations (under 10 metres) 

• Decelerations 

• A range of jumping actions

• Cutting and agility strategies 

Through regular strength and conditioning training, this can prepare each player to be sport ready and meet the demands of the game.  By being prepared for their sport, players can play with confidence and express their individual qualities in the game - cutting quicker, getting to the ball first, and making more sprints to influence the game. 

It is essential that we monitor the long-term development of our youth players. 

The Youth Strength and Conditioning Platform helps football coaches to track and monitor their players. 

• Library of strength and conditioning tests

• Upload athlete test scores 

• Analyse test scores for future sessions and athlete development 

• Support and feedback to players 

• Create, share, and download athlete reports (individual and teams)

The Youth Strength & Conditioning app empowers each youth athlete to regularly perform their strength and conditioning training. 

Strength and conditioning programmes are fully automated to save time.   Each programme consists of a range of exercises, including neuromuscular training.  Athletes can watch the exercise and drills, which demonstrate optimal form and technique. 

Athletes can upload the repetitions, training loads, and effort level, which is synched to the coach’s portal, allowing the coach to analyse training volume and adherence. 

The youth athletes can select from the below training 

• Strength training – circuit training, squats, deadlifts, press, and rows 

• Plyometric drills – hops, skips, and jumps 

• Sprint training – 10, 20, and 30m+ distances 

• Agility drills – including, 5-0-5, pro agility, U drills, X drills

• Conditioning – repeat sprints and shuttles for different training zones 

All sports have a specific demand.  For players to perform they need to be fully prepared and recovered. 

All aspects of the player's training and recovery - strength and conditioning, sports training, sport competition, and lifestyle factors need to be coached, as they are all linked to sports performance. 

As each player grows and matures, their strength and conditioning training and recovery strategies need to develop with them.  This will give each player every opportunity to perform at the highest level.
