YOUTH STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

At Portsmouth Athletic Club Youth Performance, we're striving to cultivate a safe, fun environment that encourages and challenges youth athletes to perform at the highest levels. With injury prevention at the forefront, we utilize a variety of different tested and proven training techniques to increase all aspects of athletic performance. 

• Flexibility and Mobility: prevent injuries using soft tissue work, effective stretching and mobilizing drills, and a joint.by-joint approach to movement. 

• Power: dial up the ability to control the speed that we move ourselves and objects through space including jumping, throwing, and responsible Olympic lifts.

• Strength: steadily increase command of weight using a total-body, movement-based approach without compromising form for frills, or quality for quantity. Compound movements play a central role including pushing, pulling, squatting, hinging, and core stability.

 • Speed: strengthen the specific muscles required to sprint through sled work and practice the skills required to run faster and more efficiently via speed specific drills. 

• Agility: increase fast-twitch muscle capacity and ability to change directions rapidly using ladders and combine-style cone drills. 

• Endurance: maximize your heart's efficiency through responsible heart rate training using assault bikes, sprinting intervals, battle ropes, and carrying. 

We offer a variety of training settings to maximize results and enjoyment.
