Junior AcademyYouth speed training in Auckland, ages 11 to 16.
Speed and agility training for 11 to 16 year olds on Auckland's North Shore. Small groups, VALD SmartSpeed timing in every session, and a progress report for parents each block.
HOW IT WORKS
Test, coach, re-test.
- 01
Baseline test
First session: 10m, 20m and 30m splits and a flying 10m on VALD SmartSpeed gates.
- 02
Coached sessions
Small groups. Acceleration and first-step speed, sprint mechanics, top speed, agility and change of direction, coordination, and using speed in game situations, scaled to training age.
- 03
Re-test and report
Gate times every week and a progress report at the end of each block. Parents and athletes get the numbers, the trend, and what the next block targets.
WHAT WE MEASURE
Numbers, not opinions
Acceleration splits
10m, 20m and 30m splits on VALD SmartSpeed gates, timed to the millisecond. The same gates used for the professional squads we test.
Top speed
A flying 10m off a 20m lead-in, so we measure maximum velocity, not just the start.
WHO IT'S FOR
Ages 11 to 16, coached by training age
Ages 11–16
Movement skill, coordination and sprint mechanics first, then acceleration, top speed and change of direction. Strength work is introduced only when technique supports it. No heavy loading.
School and club athletes
Most juniors play school and club sport. Blocks are set around school sport schedules, and the work carries straight into their game.
Turning 17
Athletes move up to Senior Academy: same coach, same gates, heavier strength work, and the option of 1:1 coaching.
Rugby, netball, football, athletics
Speed transfers across every field and court sport. We coach the sprint; the sport-specific coach does the rest.
