ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM (Age 11-14)

  • Our Middle School Program targets young athletes aged 11-14, focusing on foundational athletic skills during their critical 'skill-hungry' years.

    During these years is the ideal time to introduce new and proper movement patterns that will create foundations for improved athleticism regardless of the sport.

    Our progressive based program will focus on developing proper movement mechanics and athletic skill application, while progressing through running techniques (starts and acceleration), multi-directional skills (foot speed, deceleration and change of direction), balance, co-ordination, functional strength and anaerobic conditioning.

    By creating a fun environment in which to learn these vital skills, the athletes will create a solid movement foundation to improve performance, prevent injury and most importantly, enjoy athletics.

HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE PROGRAM

  • When compared to our Middle School program, this program is a more demanding training session in terms of both time (90 minutes) and intensity.

    Our High School & College Program emphasizes mastering body control, strength, and power fundamentals to enhance athletic performance.These athletes will be challenged to move up the progression ladder in sprinting mechanics, deceleration, agility, foot speed, mobility, explosive power, functional strength and anaerobic conditioning drills.

    In this stage athletes will learn Olympic lifting techniques to help improve power output and athleticism. Our expert Performance Staff will supervise and lead the full 90 minutes session to help ensure a safe and supportive environment to help maximize results.

“Our 15 year old soccer-crazed son has been training [AT PURSUIT] for the past 6 years.  Wayne has always been patient and motivating and has coached and catered to Simon’s physicality to train and play the sport he loves.  As parents, we are extremely pleased with the progress Simon has made over the years and the dedication by both Simon and Wayne.  We have an enormous amount of trust and comfort knowing that our son is training with such a knowledgeable individual in such a well-respected positive environment.”
