Strength & Conditioning for Youth Athletes | 6 months

Strength and Conditioning

6-month Programme

Who is this for?

This is a 24-week holistic performance programme for youth development phase athletes looking to develop strength and athleticism whilst playing one game per week. Incorporates periodised strength, power and speed sessions. If you want to increase strength and size in a sport-specific way, then this programme is for you. 

How many days per week in this programme?

These phases consist of 4 days per week. 

What sessions are included in this programme?

• 1 x Speed and whole-body strength & power
• 1 x Lower body strength
• 2 x Upper body strength sessions

How do I plan sessions into my week?

Sessions are periodised as follows:

• The Matchday (MD) reference relates to days pre/post game
• MD +1 = 1 day after the game
• MD -3 = 3 days before your next game
• This periodisation will allow you to optimise adaptation and subsequent performance gains by peaking and tapering your training load around the match day schedule.

Do I need any specific equipment?

You will need access to a field, pitch or athletics track and a gym consisting of free weights.
