What is Young Guns?

Young Guns is a coach-led strength and conditioning program for kids and teenagers designed to build strength, coordination, athletic ability, and confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

The program focuses on proper technique, body control, and developing strong movement patterns, helping young athletes become stronger, faster, and more resilient.

Young Guns currently has two age groups:

Kids: 8–11 years

Each session is designed to suit the developmental stage of the group.

How many session per week should my child attend?

1 session per week is recommended.
