"Lewis and his team have been fantastic with our son. As a Liverpool Academy football player we wanted him to improve is strength on the ball and explosive power in his running, especially as he's a smaller member of the squad. Within 4-6 weeks we noticed a real difference in both areas. The sessions are thoroughly enjoyable and our son can't wait to return each week"

A young, growing athlete can face many challenges with co-ordination, mobility, strength and speed. This can often be perceived in sport as lack of fitness, poor performance or decreased technical ability, often resulting in self confidence being knocked or rash decisions being made about their future potential.
Injury risk during growth spurts can also rise dramatically. Without monitoring and developing the young athlete appropriately through strength and conditioning, the onset of overuse injuries is a huge problem.
It is for these reasons that we regularly test and monitor physical performance, growth rates and maturation status to stay informed about every aspect of the individual.
With sport around Manchester flourishing, we see our service as essential. Youth athletes have the opportunity to come and train with likeminded others under the watchful eye of experienced and qualified coaches. They will learn to move efficiently, develop strength appropriately and understand how to eat well and use recovery methods to enhance everything that sport and life throws at them, especially during the crucial stages of maturation and the onset of adolescence when rapid physical changes occur.
"My 10 year old son commenced training at Physical Performance Academy 4 months ago now and it's the best decision we ever made. The skills, experience and knowledge of staff is second to none. The facilities are elite level and the care and attention given to personalise the experience for each child is exceptional"

What our programme involves:
Long Term Youth Athlete Pathway
Our long term athlete development curriculum has been built for 10-18 year olds from any sporting background. It is underpinned by excellent movement patterns, is tailored towards the individual and works at improving all sport specific physical qualities. Our coaches are responsible for creating healthy, robust youngsters and want nothing more but longevity for athletes in their chosen sports. The programme runs for 50 out of 52 weeks of the year to support true, long term physical development.
Performance Testing and Monitoring
Quarterly performance testing to monitor maturation status, growth rates and physical improvements are a key part of the programme. Physical qualities we test include strength, power, speed and mobility. This ensures your child is always improving appropriately and progressing as expected along our LTAD curriculum.
Highest Standard of Coaching
With years of experience and UKSCA (UK Strength and Conditioning Association - the governing body for athlete development) accreditation, your child is in the best possible hands for appropriate long term development. With an evidence-based approach, every aspect of youth athlete development is taken into consideration. Our progressive curriculum guides and educates your young athlete along a pathway to higher performance. Sessions take place with a maximum of coach to athlete ratio of 1:6 to ensure we maximise coaching opportunities.
High Performance Education
Regular education on all things performance. From nutrition education for health, performance and food preparation, to recovery strategies to maximise performance to support their sport and life. This education covers parents and athletes.
Athlete Development Hub
Our sessions take place at our very own, purpose designed, high performance gym at Riverside Business Park, Stockport, SK6 2BP. The facility has been designed specifically to maximise our coaching with youth athletes and has all the necessary equipment for an elite programme.
Goal Reviews
Every 12 weeks, we have individual review meetings with youth athletes and their parents. We discuss physical development and progress in sport, show progression with our physical development monitoring and challenge youth athletes to set SMART goals for their next training block.
Parent Community Group
Correspondence with parents is a key priority for us, and a private parent only Facebook group allows us to regularly interact, educate and engage. Useful topics and points of interest as well as day to day logistics are continually passed on to allow complete transparency at all times.

"I signed my 13 year old daughter up to Physical Performance academy to help her with her fitness levels. This was with a view of improving her netball skills which she plays at club and county level. My daughter's movement and confidence on the netball court is evident after only 12 weeks attendance, so I feel we're definitely invested for the long term and hoping she will continue to go from strength to strength. I would definitely recommend Physical Performance Academy to any young person to support their sports journey regardless of what level they play at."
