Youth strength and conditioning has moved from the preserve of professional academies to mainstream grassroots sport. Both the UKSCA and NSCA confirm that properly supervised youth resistance training is safe, beneficial and low-risk when age-appropriately programmed. EPP delivers youth S&C classes in Birmingham from just £10 per session.
Yes, with three conditions: proper supervision by a qualified coach, age-appropriate programme design (movement quality before load), and individualisation to the athlete's developmental stage. EPP follows the Youth Physical Development model. U8–U11 sessions focus on fundamental movement and bodyweight patterns. U12–U16 introduces progressive loading with an emphasis on movement quality under load.
EPP youth S&C sessions focus on movement quality, athletic strength, explosive power and injury prevention. Sessions are 60 minutes and are sport-aware — programming complements rather than conflicts with the athlete's club training schedule. Where an athlete has been through an EPP performance assessment, their 6-week training block is built directly around their data.
EPP youth S&C classes run at Alexander Stadium Birmingham (B42 2LR), Wyndley Leisure Centre Sutton Coldfield (B73 6EW), Vision Football Factory Tamworth (B77 5DE) and Pack Meadow Coleshill (B46 3JE). Classes cost £10 per session with no long-term commitment required. Suitable for athletes aged U8 and above.
