Youth Elite Performance Training




Build the Athlete First. Everything Else Follows.
Youth sports have changed dramatically over the past two decades.
Today, many young athletes specialize in a single sport by age 10–12. With that specialization comes year-round play, high training volume, and mounting pressure to perform. The result? Rising rates of burnout, overuse injuries, and athletes who peak early—or quit altogether.
At Ada Valley CrossFit, we don’t fight the reality of modern youth sports.
We address the gaps it creates.
Our Youth Elite Performance Training program exists to help young athletes stay strong, durable, confident, and healthy by building the foundations that most sport systems skip—movement quality, balance, coordination, strength, agility, and a long-term relationship with training.
This is not about replacing team practices or sport-specific coaching.
It’s about enhancing the path they’re already on.
Our Philosophy: Foundation Before Intensity
Youth athletes don’t need more drills, more volume, or more pressure.
They need a stronger base.
- How the body moves before how fast or hard it moves
- Control before intensity
- Skill and coordination before load
- Confidence built through mastery, not exhaustion
When athletes master movement early, they move better, train safer, and progress further—no matter what sport they play.
The Training Methodology
CrossFit-Based Athletic Development
We start with CrossFit’s evidence-based approach to building safe strength, conditioning, and movement literacy.
Neuromuscular & Reflex Training
We layer in elite movement and reflex training inspired by high-level athletic development principles—reaction drills, balance work, core rebuilding, coordination patterns, and footwork.
Durability & Longevity Principles
We apply durability concepts focusing on flexibility, joint health, posture, and controlled movement.
A Clear, Structured Progression
Each class follows a consistent flow:
- Intent & education
- Warm-up and activation
- Skill development
- Strength or conditioning
- Games that reinforce movement
Coaching That Matters
Our coaches don’t just instruct—they model what intentional training builds.
More Than Performance: Confidence & Character
The true impact of this program goes far beyond speed or strength.
Athletes build confidence, discipline, resilience, camaraderie, and a healthy relationship with competition.
Who This Program Is For
- Youth athletes already competing on teams
- Kids who love sports and want to move better
- Athletes looking to stay healthy during long seasons
- Families who value long-term development over short-term wins
