Sports Advantage

Middle School, Ages 12-13, Training Programs

Are you a middle school athlete that just went through that growth spurt or are you the athlete that has not been through it yet? Sports Advantage offers cutting edge performance training for middle school athletes that need their abilities to catch up to their bodies, or need that edge because they have not gotten there yet. Our group training sessions are fun, safe, competitive environments where athletes can gain knowledge of proper running mechanics, balance, coordination, and strength to better their athletic performances.

Middle School Training Sessions

First Half of Workout focuses on movement preparation and improving essential components of athletic movement. We incorporate the following aspects:

  • Agility and proper mechanics of changing directions
  • Speed development and running mechanics
  • Aerobic or anaerobic conditioning

Second Half of Workout focuses on strength training with body weight or resistance exercises.

  • Focus on correct and proper technique
  • Individualized workouts that follow a progression
  • Core training (abdominals, lower back)

ACL Prevention

Athletes who participate in sports that involve jumping and cutting, such as soccer, volleyball and basketball, are at risk of suffering an ACL injury. Female athletes are up to five times more likely to suffer from an ACL injury than male athletes in these sports. Research has demonstrated that athletes involved in proper training programs are three times less likely to injure their ACL.

Sports Advantage’s prevention program emphasizes proprioception and neuromuscular exercises, jump training, lower extremity strengthening, core training, functional and deceleration training. The ACL prevention program is a 6 - week course.
