Youth Strength & Conditioning

oop movement provides coaching for youth athletes (aged 10-17) using a structured Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) framework. Our approach applies sport science for athletic health and performance, including general athletic preparation and return-to-performance rehab. Programmes are safely progressed based on biological maturation, training age, and technical competence.

Coaching is delivered by Darragh Casey (MSc), an ISESA Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist. Our evidence-based programming reduces injury risk, improves all-round movement skills, and builds robust athleticism.
