What Is Youth Speed Training and Why Is It Important?

PostedJanuary 10, 2024

UpdatedJanuary 10, 2024

Youth speed training is the development of proper movement mechanics at an early age in order to improve athletic performance. While there is no clearly defined guidelines on how young an athlete needs to be before participating in speed training, parents should look to get their young athlete involved as soon they are able to, and here’s why;

Injury Prevention: While speed training will not prevent contact injuries, they can help prevent non-contact injuries such as muscle strains, and ligament and tendon injuries. By teaching young athletes optimal movement patterns they can maneuver on the field more efficiently which allows them to accelerate, brake, and reaccelerate safely.
Optimal Performance: When young athletes become coordinated and learn movement skills at an early age they’re given the best chance to compete at their highest level. This makes sports more fun, and athletes are able to develop a more competitive mindset. While no one can always win in competition, being slow, less agile, and uncoordinated does not set the foundation for young athletes to love playing sports.

Oftentimes when parents of young athletes begin the process of placing their kids in organized sports they fail to appropriately prepare them for the consistency of a competitive season. Speed training typically does not become something parents think about until it’s recommended by coaches or becomes obvious. Parents need to remember that they should always get their child in shape to play sports, and speed training is a big part of that. When young athletes are able to compete at their best and stay healthy at the same time, they’ll have more fun and get the most out of what sports have to offer.

My two grandchildren spent a total of 3 years attending school at Bass Edu. Being able to watch them thrive in the classroom as students, on the football field as athletes, and leave Boost/Bass as young men ready to attend high school has been the most amazing thing to witness. So thankful for Coach Ray, Mrs.Bass and the rest of the staff who have helped my two grandchildrennavigate their time here!

My son joined the Boost Speed program to improve his acceleration and mobility in July. He was running a 7.6 and about a month later he’s running 7.3. His goal is to run high 6 by the end of fall. My son is trilled with coach Ray and how he teaches the techniques of sprinting where he can understand. He is looking forward to his development with coach Ray and the coaching staff.Thank you.

BOOST is the best!! They have the best trainers with positive coaching. They really focus on technique when you get started, which helps build an excellent foundation when training for speed and agility. We simply cannot say enough about how fantastic the staff is here. Their methods produce results pretty quickly! We've been attending training sessions here since the summer of 2022.

My daughter loves this place! We go 2x a month for soccer training and I’m so happy our soccer friend told us about this place. I saw how much it helped their daughter improve her soccer skills and figured we’d try it for ourselves. Glad to have a facility like this in Corona!

The staff is amazing and have a true passion for working with younger athletes. They push my kiddos, 9 and 7, to do better, preserver, and safety is a number one priority. My kids really enjoy coming and always sleep well after practice! Coach Syd is an all star! The facility is also clean and well cared for.

Attending regular Boost training sessions has been a valuable addition to my daughters training schedule. She is noticeably faster and more agile on the soccer field. She loves coming to boost, she works hard but it’s also fun! Coach Sydney has a great rapport with the girls, and I like that my daughter has the influence of a cool, positive and strong female athlete to inspire her.

The speed training program has been very beneficial for both our kids. Each kid has gotten faster and has gained confidence from this training and the coaching staff has been very supportive and patient.

Coach Ray and his staff are amazing. My daughter has been training at boost for a few months and already I’m noticing her speed improve on the field. She’s never been a fast runner but once the Boost staff started teaching her how to run her form has improved. Even other parents on her team have told me how much faster she’s gotten during games. Thanks to Coach Ray and his staff.

My son has been training at Boost since June of 2022. The coaches and staff are absolutely amazing and results were definitely seen on the field. This football season as RB has been his best yet.

My son thrived in the 2 years he attended Boost. The curriculum was challenging forcing him to become more disciplined. I truly believe he became the best version of himself academically and physically because he was constantly challenged and held accountable.
