Summer Middle School 7th/8th Grade Group Training
Advertisement
There’s a ton of misconceptions when it comes to training youth athletes.
-
When you say “train” parents immediately think the child will be squatting with a bar on their back and “stunt their growth”. While that’s a myth in itself the greater problem is realizing that’s not necessarily the primary goal.
-
Physical development should be consistent since the time they are born. When they get to the ages 6-7 it’s a good time to start introducing some stress to the body in the form of fundamental primal patterns.
-
Kids should be sprinting, jumping, throwing, pushing, pulling, lunging, squatting, bending, and rotating. These are all fundamental patterns they can be exposed to with various forms of resistance that does not compromise them but rather amplifies their ability to move in space.
So the question shouldn’t be what age should your child start to “train”… but rather what’s your definition of training and how are you doing it?
