Athlete Development Academy
Supporting Young Athletes to Perform at their Best
At Viktus, we believe young athletes deserve more than just more training. They deserve the right training; progressive, safe and purpose-built to help them grow into strong, capable, and resilient performers. That’s exactly what our Athlete Development Academy delivers.
Adolescence is a critical window for physical development, yet it’s also when young athletes become most vulnerable to injury and inconsistent performance. Growing bodies face increasing sport demands, pressure to perform, and higher injury risk unless they’re supported with structured physical preparation that teaches them to move well, resist injury, and unlock their full athletic potential. At Viktus, we take an “Earn the Right” approach, helping athletes master foundational movement quality before building strength, speed, and power in a safe, progressive way.
By joining Viktus’ Athlete Development Academy, your child will:
- Move with confidence and technical excellence.
- Build sports-specific strength and power.
- Develop a robust body more capable of tolerating the demands of sport and less likely to breakdown to injury.
- Improve speed and explosive ability.
Most importantly, they’ll be coached in an environment that cares about the whole athlete. Building capable, confident young people who are physically prepared for the demands of sport now and into the future.
Because when young athletes move well and are strong, they perform well, and at Viktus, that’s exactly what we help them achieve.
Earn the Right System
A step by step method that prioritises movement quality, progressive loading and readiness to advance.
We test, analyse and review your movements, load, and performance data to inform your goals and next steps. Clear, criteria based progressions, and data-informed decision making that move you forward, week after week.
Who’s it for
Parents who want to give their child every opportunity to succeed in sport. Who understand the importance of building the movement skills, strength, and resilience needed for their child to perform at their best, both now and in the future.
As training loads for your child increase and competition becomes more demanding, a strong athletic foundation becomes essential. By developing proper movement mechanics, strength, and injury resilience early, you will support your child to be better prepared to handle the physical demands of their sport, reduce their risk of injury, and continue progressing with confidence.
Open to athletes aged 13 – 18 years old.
How the Athlete Development Academy works
Each week, at the same time and on the same day, your athlete will take part in a structured strength and conditioning session led by one of our coaches. They will train alongside up to eleven other athletes in a session that includes a full warm-up, injury-resilience work, lower and upper body strength training, and focused trunk development.
What’s included
Our Academy combines our world-class programming system with some of the most experienced coaches in the country:
Weekly In-Person Coaching & Individualised Programming
Every athlete receives hands-on-coaching, a tailored training programme, and personalised feedback to guide their progression and reinforce correct technique week after week.
Master the Key Movement Patterns and Progress Safely
Athletes learn how to squat, hinge, lunge, push, and pull with precision, the foundations of all athletic performance. We teach athletes how to choose the right weights, understand load selection, and apply progressive overload safely. This builds autonomy, confidence, and long-term training competency.
Quarterly Progress Tracking & Data-Driven Benchmarks
Performance isn’t left to guesswork. We measure strength, power, movement quality, and physical robustness every quarter, giving athletes and parents clear insight into improvement and readiness for higher-level sport.
How You’ll benefit
Our system ensures that athletes don’t just train more, they train smarter.
A Strong Technical Foundation
By mastering the fundamentals early, athletes establish a platform for all future strength, speed, and power development.
Clear, Measurable Progress
Regular feedback and tracking mean athletes see their improvements in real time, reinforcing motivation, confidence, and long-term athletic buy-in.
Enhanced Strength, Power & Resilience
Athletes become stronger, more explosive, and far more resilient to injury. This not only boosts performance but ensures they can stay consistent through busy training and competition schedules.
Peak Performance When It Matters Most
With better movement, better strength, and better preparation, your child is primed to perform at their best. Not just today, but through adolescence and into adulthood.
