]]> This past Saturday we celebrated with our 2nd Testing and Promotion Day.

It was inspirational, emotional, impressive and joyous.

We are changing youth sports performance testing and youth fitness testing.  No longer will young athletes have to achieve just for the sake of achieving.  No longer will they have to be subjected to 1 rep max tests, or reps for 1 minute protocols with no subjective assessment of technical ability.

Check out this little slide show of some of the highlights of our day.

Congrats to all of the following Champions:

]]> All to often youth fitness programs assess their young athletes by measuring flexibility, strength, speed, power etc while using adult protocols including 1 rep max tests (or adjusted 1 rep max), sit and reach, shuttle runs and vertical jump…to name a few.

Watch this video to find out why this approach does NOT work when working with developing, young athletes.
