Help Your Children Become Stronger, More Confident Athletes
Our brand new, age-appropriate strength and athletic training program for ages 8–12 provides safe, coach-supervised training that builds confidence, improves performance, and develops healthy habits for life.
Strength for Sports. Confidence for Life.
More Than Just Sports Training
At Yankee Fitness Company, we believe youth training should be about more than sports performance. It should help children develop the strength, coordination, movement skills, and confidence they need to succeed both on and off the field.
Our Youth Strength & Athletic Development Program is designed for young athletes ages 8–12. Through age-appropriate coaching and structured training, kids learn proper movement, build strength safely, and develop the athletic foundation needed for long-term success in sports and everyday life.
While many youth sports focus on sport-specific skills and competition, our program develops the fundamental athletic abilities that improve performance, reduce injury risk, and help young athletes reach their full potential.

Move with confidence

Training Schedule
Our regularly scheduled YFC Youth classes are held:
Mondays at 5:45 PM
Fridays at 5:45 PM
We understand that school-year sports schedules can make it difficult to commit to the same class time throughout the year. As sports seasons and family needs change, we may add additional class times based on the schedules of interested families.
If three or more kids are interested in training together, that is enough for us to run a class. The group can be made up of teammates, friends, or simply kids whose schedules line up.
Need a different time? Email us so we can keep you updated when new class times are added—or help you put a group together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is strength training safe for kids?
Absolutely. When supervised by experienced coaches, age-appropriate strength training is one of the safest and most effective ways for children to build strength, improve coordination, and reduce the risk of sports-related injuries. Our program focuses on proper technique, movement quality, and gradual progression—not lifting heavy weights.
Does my child need to play sports to participate?
Not at all. While many of our athletes play organized sports, this program is also a great fit for kids who simply want to become stronger, more active, and more confident.
What ages is the program designed for?
Our Youth Strength & Athletic Development Program is designed for boys and girls ages 8–12.
Will this help my child perform better in sports?
Yes! By improving strength, speed, balance, coordination, and movement mechanics, athletes develop the foundation needed to perform better in virtually any sport.
My child has never trained before. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most athletes start with little or no strength training experience. Our coaches meet each child where they are and provide individualized instruction to help them learn safely and progress at their own pace.
Will my child receive individual attention?
Yes. Our coaches work closely with every athlete to ensure exercises are performed safely, provide personalized coaching, and help each child continue progressing.
What should my child bring?
Athletes should wear comfortable athletic clothing, supportive sneakers, and bring a water bottle. We’ll take care of the rest!
Why choose Yankee Fitness Company?
