What it includes
Athletic development for every growth stage
Our conditioning centre pairs a fully equipped gym with pitch-based speed work. Programmes are built around biological age — not just shirt size — and every player is screened for injury risk before they start.
- Strength & power: age-appropriate resistance work with qualified supervision
- Speed & agility: sprint mechanics, change of direction and deceleration
- Screening & rehab: movement screening plus guided return-to-play plans

Conditioning FAQs
Is gym work safe for young players?
Yes — when it’s coached properly. Our programmes follow paediatric exercise guidelines: technique first, bodyweight before barbells, and loads matched to maturation, never to ego.
What happens if my child is injured?
Our physio screens the injury, sets a staged return-to-play plan, and the player keeps training around the injury with adapted sessions so fitness and morale don’t collapse.
Do you advise on nutrition?
Every squad gets termly nutrition workshops and matchday fuelling guides for parents — practical food, not supplements. Read our nutrition article in the blog for the basics.
