ELEMENTARY / MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM
Over the past decade, advancements in the field of sport science have created massive performance advantages far greater than imagined. PrecisionSports is the first and only facility to make this new generation of sport science training methodology available to pediatric/child-athletes of the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly Silicon Valley. An elementary or middle school athlete will leave precision’s academy with a high degree of physical literacy and understanding of proper exercise and fitness habits that they will carry with them throughout life. This enables the young athlete not only to move well and create a healthy lifestyle but it also affords them a competitive athletic advantage in middle school while keep them injury-free. Elementary/middle school athletes often lack physical/athletic literacy as well as confidence. Therefore we’ve made it a priority to ensure athletes who go through our strength and conditioning program obtain athletic literacy and confidence. This leaves them feeling much more comfortable in their own body thus leaving behind and physical insecurities they may have previously had. We care as much about our elementary/middle school athletes achieving long, healthy careers and maximizing sports performance as we do about professional and Olympic athletes. Most importantly, our academy’s staff places a premium on presenting ourselves in a manner that reinforces our status as role models for impressionable young athletes. PrecisionSports detailed elementary/middle school training approach is based on the tenants of:
- Child Psychology & Well Being
- High School Sport Preparation
- Injury Prevention & Reduction
- Pediatric Exercise Science & Long Term Athlete Development Model
- Data Science & Analytics
For child student-athletes, genetic baseline and physical maturity are large determinants of sports performance and certain fitness attributes. Not all children have the same body or the same response to physical training. Children are not “mini-adults” – they are unique organisms that require individualized training prescriptions and progressions as we prepare them for competing in high school varsity sports, while at the same time giving them a competitive edge for middle school. As their bodies mature and enter adolescence, their individualized programs shift to reflect the needs of their unique growth and sport(s) of choice. This solidifies the fundamentals of athleticism and future success as a high school varsity athlete. The following items are potential components featured in a elementary/middle school athlete’s program, and are commonly sought after by local parents:
- Speed/Power Training
- Running Acceleration/Deceleration Mechanics
- Agility/Change of Direction Mechanics
- Sport-specific Conditioning
- Core Stability Training
- Strength Training (weights or bodyweight depending on puberty stage)
- Injury Prevention and Corrective Orthopedic Exercise
