Youth Sports Performance at The FIT Facility

Ages 8–12. Safe. Coached. Built for long-term athletic development

Your kid does not need to specialize at 9.
They do not need to be “crushed” in a workout to get better.
And they definitely do not need to train like a mini adult.

They need a foundation.

At The FIT Facility, Youth Sports Performance is where we build the base most kids never get:

  • How to run with better mechanics

  • How to stop and decelerate without falling apart

  • How to jump and land safely

  • How to move laterally and change direction with control

  • How to develop coordination, balance, and body control

  • How to be coachable in a structured environment

This is the entry point to real athletic development.

Who this is for

This program is for parents of kids ages 8–12 who want their child to:

  • Move better and feel more confident playing sports

  • Develop coordination and control (without being pushed too fast)

  • Learn the basics the right way before speed and strength become serious

  • Reduce the “awkward phase” that shows up in games when kids cannot brake, cut, or land well

  • Build habits that carry over to middle school and high school athletics

If your kid plays multiple sports, perfect. That is how it should be at this age.

What your child will do in Youth Sports Performance

Every session is coached and structured. It is fun, but it is not random.

We focus on:

  • Warm-up and movement prep that teaches positions and body awareness

  • Speed and agility fundamentals with simple cues kids can actually apply

  • Deceleration and change of direction basics so they can cut and stop under control

  • Intro plyometrics like hops and jumps done the right way

  • Intro strength training using safe, age-appropriate progressions

  • Games and competitive drills that improve reaction, focus, and confidence

Kids leave tired, but more importantly, they leave better.

Why this matters long-term

Most injury risk and performance limitations later come from one problem now.

Kids grow. Their bodies change. Their coordination lags behind.

If they never learn how to:

  • control their body

  • absorb force

  • decelerate

  • land

  • rotate and re-accelerate

then the game gets faster and their body cannot keep up.

Youth Sports Performance is how we build athletes who are stronger, safer, and more coachable later.

What makes FIT different for kids

We are not trying to max out 10-year-olds.
We are building a foundation that makes everything else easier later.

Parents like this program because it is:

  • coached

  • structured

  • age-appropriate

  • confidence-building

  • focused on long-term development, not short-term fatigue
