Common questions
Before you start.
What age can kids start strength training?
Around age 7 and up, with everything scaled and coached for their stage. The focus is technique and development, not heavy maxes.
Is lifting safe for young athletes?
Yes. Coach-led, testing-based strength training is one of the safest, most beneficial things a young athlete can do when done properly.
Will strength training stunt my child’s growth?
No, that is a myth. Properly coached strength training supports healthy development and reduces injury risk.
