Intermediate & Elite Training Classes: For Ages 12-18
The Intermediate and Elite training programs at T3 Performance help middle school and high school athletes take their games to the next level. Our coaches utilize research-backed training methods to support strength and power development for all athletes, from beginners to advanced.
In Intermediate (Ages 12-14), Middle School and early High School Athletes learn fundamental movements for long-term success. This is the age when many athletes develop motor patterns they’ll have throughout their lives. Therefore we train in a controlled group setting, with our staff of certified coaches monitoring form and providing feedback.
In Elite (Ages 15-18), we provide High School Athletes with the coaching they need to excel past their competition. This training program places an even greater emphasis on building strength, speed and power. Sessions are progressive for long-term development, and are catered to each individual athlete’s sports and needs.
The result is more ability, confidence and impact on the field or court of the sports they love.
We offer classes every day of the week, all year round. Whether your athlete’s goals are to build muscle and power in the off-season or to maintain their strength and mobility in-season, our coaching staff can tailor the training experience to meet their needs.
Athletes considering Intermediate or Elite can test the waters with a free one-on-one movement assessment led by one of our certified coaches. They will evaluate your athlete’s abilities and needs, and build a program customized for their specific sports and goals.
