Performance development for the emerging athlete.
Build the foundations of future performance in a supportive and tailored environment
OUR COACHES HAVE WORKED WITH:
SET YOUR CHILD UP FOR FUTURE SPORTING SUCCESS
Teenage years are often full of stress and chaos. Growing bodies, increasing sporting demands, balancing school and social commitments – the risk of burnout, injury and poor performance is very real.
Too often we hear from parents wanting to navigate this tumultuous period so their child can thrive and excel in their sporting endeavours. Quality athletic development requires us to establish an effective foundation of movement skills, physical attributes, confidence and training capacity.
Enter our Youth Athlete Development program, specifically designed to combat these issues and holistically develop the qualities seen in all elite performers.
Our offerings are age and stage appropriate; sessions are expertly coached; and athletes train in a stimulating and challenging environment that prioritises education and support for their personal development, sports participation and goals.
Through this approach, we continually develop the necessary athletic qualities that underpin effective preparation for their sport. Continual improvement is key.
Run Ready’s Youth Athlete Development program suits all youth athletes, including pitch, field, and court sports, as well as running and athletics training.

HOW IT WORKS
Assessment & Introduction
Through a guided 1:1 introduction session, we will work with your child to get them comfortable in our environment, introduce them to key movements and exercises, and test their physical abilities to identify the best training options specifically for them.
Strength Development
Strength is an essential component of athletic performance, and it is highly trainable.
For youth athletes, a clear understanding of the principles and practice of developing movement skills and coordination, mobility and stability, balance and agility, speed and explosive qualities, tissue integrity and robustness, as well as loading requirements and injury prevention strategies, must be included in any strength training regime.
Running Skills for Sports Performance
Game speed – often identified as decision-making, acceleration, deceleration, repeat sprint capacity and change of direction – is built on a foundation of good athleticism and a sound running technique. Our expert coaches understand the key requirements for an effective foundation and how to progress the skills and training for improved athletic performance.
The our strength sessions build the foundational physical qualities for improved running development. Combining this with the technical and skill development focus in our running sessions allows our youth athletes to bridge the gap between the gym and the sporting field.
Endurance Run Training
Our experienced coaches, led by head coach Nick Bowden, guide runners through the most suitable training for their age, experience, goals and events, with an emphasis on developing aerobic capacity, technical and tactical competence and understanding of the sport. Group training is key, providing peer support and enjoyment to maximise consistency and longevity. Supervised weekly sessions are available throughout the year, with a particular focus on each day and venue.
