What is youth sport performance training at Olympia?
Youth sport performance training is a coach-led program that builds speed, strength, power, and durability in young athletes. Sessions are programmed by age and sport, supervised on every rep, and designed to make athletes faster, more explosive, and more resilient to in-season injury.
Strength & Power
Age-appropriate strength work — squat, hinge, push, pull — plus medicine ball and jump training that translates directly to the field, court, or ice.
Durability & Injury Resilience
Joint integrity, landing mechanics, and tissue capacity built in alongside performance work so the season doesn't end on the trainer's table.
Who is youth performance training for?
Programs serve youth athletes roughly ages 10 through 18, plus full youth sports teams that want a coach-led conditioning block. Athletes come from hockey, soccer, basketball, football, rugby, baseball, volleyball, and multi-sport backgrounds. Every program is scaled to the athlete's age and training history.
Individual youth athletes
One-on-one or small group performance training for athletes who need an off-season block, an in-season maintenance plan, or a return-to-play ramp after injury.
Full sports teams
Hockey, soccer, basketball, football, and other youth teams book group conditioning blocks at Olympia. The coach programs around the team's competitive calendar and sport-specific demands.
Multi-sport youth athletes
Young athletes playing two or three sports across the year get programs that respect total training load — not another season piled on top of an already full schedule.
Athletes returning from injury
Coaches build the bridge between physiotherapy and full sport. Loading, intensity, and movement quality are reintroduced step by step before the athlete returns to competition.
What does a youth performance session look like?
A typical session runs 60 minutes: a coach-led movement prep, a speed or jump block, a strength block, and a conditioning finisher. Athletes are supervised on every set, with a coach calling loading, mechanics, and tempo so the work targets performance, not just fatigue.
- 0-10 min — Movement prep. Mobility, activation, and dynamic warm-up tuned to the day's training focus.
- 10-25 min — Speed, jumps, or plyos. Sprint mechanics, change of direction, or jump training while the athlete is fresh.
- 25-50 min — Strength block. Age-appropriate primary lifts plus accessory work for joint integrity.
- 50-60 min — Conditioning finisher. Sport-specific energy system work scaled to the athlete and their season phase.

Youth sport performance training FAQ
What age range do you train for youth sport performance?
Programs are built for athletes roughly 10 through 18 years old. Younger athletes train with movement-quality and athleticism as the priority; older athletes layer in heavier strength and sport-specific power work. Every program is scaled to the athlete's age and training history, not just a generic template.
Do you train full youth sports teams together?
Yes. Hockey, soccer, basketball, football, and other youth teams book coach-led conditioning blocks at 16869 Hymus. We coordinate with team staff on schedule, training goals, and competitive calendar — then run the team through programmed speed, strength, and conditioning sessions as a unit.
Is strength training safe for young athletes?
Yes — when it is age-appropriate, coached, and progressively loaded. Olympia coaches scale movements and loading to each athlete and supervise every set. Strength training built this way actually reduces injury rates by improving tissue capacity, joint integrity, and landing mechanics.
Can my athlete train at Olympia in-season without burning out?
Yes. In-season programs are built to maintain strength and speed without piling fatigue on top of practices and games. Coaches adjust volume and intensity around the competitive calendar so your athlete shows up to game day fresh, not flattened by extra training.
