Small Group Training For Emerging and Youth Athletes

Every athlete remembers the moment they got faster.

Speed, strength and conditioning training for athletes from every sport — coached by trained professionals, backed by real sport science.

Our Small Group Training program builds the physical qualities every sport demands: speed, strength, power, coordination and conditioning. Sessions are led by trained Strength and Conditioning Coaches at the Speed Training Lab + High Performance Centre® in Vaughan — planned, coached training, not a circuit class or open gym.

WHAT ATHLETES WORK ON

Every athlete’s plan is matched to their age, ability and experience — then built up from there. Coaches teach:

• Acceleration and sprint mechanics
• Strength and power
• Agility and change of direction
• Plyometrics and landing mechanics
• Mobility, stability and coordination
• Conditioning for repeated high-intensity efforts

Athletes train in a small group, but no one gets lost in it — coaches are watching, correcting and adjusting every session. 

BACKED BY REAL RESEARCH

Every coach on our floor holds a college or university background in Kinesiology, Health Sciences, Fitness and Health Promotion, or Personal Training, and is trained in our Speed Training Exercise Protocol — developed by Dr. Richard Bucciarelli, PhD, who has spent 15 years conducting independent and academic research in sport science.

That research is what tells us how to test, train and recover an athlete — not guesswork.

BUILT FOR EVERY ATHLETE

Small Group Training works for developing and competitive athletes alike — your athlete doesn’t need to arrive at a certain level. Coaches adjust exercises, resistance and volume to meet them where they are, using motorized and non-motorized treadmills, strength equipment and performance-testing technology to track technique, intensity and progress.

WHY SMALL-GROUP TRAINING?

Training next to other athletes working just as hard pushes you — and keeps a coach close enough to catch the small things before they become habits. Athletes get:

• Structured, progressive coaching matched to their ability
• Access to specialized speed and performance equipment
• A training environment focused on development, not just effor
