The Developmental Stage - ( puberty )

Objective: To utilize high level movement skill development to advance to more advanced skills and the developmental stage of the improvement of ability. Improve work capacity and begin the advanced journey of the Pathway to Peak Performance. Establishing a strong aerobic base is very important during this period of a kid's life.

The body is rapidly developing during this stage of a child's life and proper instruction will take this into account. It is important for the parent to understand that variances in performance may be the result of differences in growth and maturity levels. Rapid growth spurts may result in a lack of coordination.

YC ZONE encourages the multi-skill approach and participation in a variety of exercises from a wide range of sports. We progressively increase the volume and intensity of training. Drills and games are designed that will introduce athletes to fundamental tactics and strategies and reinforce skill development. The journey down the Pathway to Peak Performance begins with mobility screens and improvement training in movement, coordination, and balance. All participants are provided with opportunities to participate at challenging levels and experience success - and failure.

We avoid placing a young person in a competition, exercise, or drill that place too much stress on the body anatomically. Stability and mobility must be gained at this stage before the onset of certain exercises or drills. The participant is encouraged to think about aspects or tactics such as accuracy and technique.
