Athlete Training in Charlottesville, VA

Athlete Training

ADAPT offers private, semi-private, small group, and membership training options to help you learn how to train properly, reduce injuries, and improve athleticism.

Our membership-based group training options below are designed to develop athletes based on their individual stage of progression and maturation. Early progressions focus on having fun and learning how to move efficiently, so the athlete is equipped to play a variety of sports. Advanced progressions focus on preparing for the demands of specific sports and overcoming each athlete’s limitations.

The below are monthly recurring memberships.

‍

FUNdamentals (Ages 9-11)

Emphasizing the ABCs (Agility, Balance, Coordination, & Speed) of training & fundamental movement skills in the golden age of learning.

During this stage of development, there is a window of accelerated learning for fundamental movement skills. Children in this group are developmentally ready to learn the general skills that provide a foundation for athletic development. This stage has also shown to be a good time to introduce some of the psychological aspects of sport such as: relaxation, goal setting, concentration, communication, and motivation. Progression from this group to the next will be dependent on age, and/or maturity (the onset of the growth spurt). As coaches, we understand that the more positive an experience that we can create during this stage, the more likely the athletes are to enjoy physical activity in the future.

Sessions currently waitlisted. Contact us to start your own semi-private group.

Learn to Train (Ages 12-14)

Build the body’s engine during this critical stage of strength, power, coordination, and endurance development.

This stage is arguably their most important stage of development. This stage focuses on “building the engine” and refining basic skills in their favorite sports. Priority in this group is to build an aerobic base, and to emphasize strength and speed at the end of the growth spurt. At this time, the athlete’s heart and lungs grow rapidly, blood volume expands, estrogen and testosterone increase, and so does muscle mass. Progression from this group to the next is dependent on maturity and the conclusion of the athlete’s growth spurt.

Mondays – Friday 5:30-6:30pm

DEVELOPMENTAL (High school small group training, ages 14-18)

This group is for optimizing physical preparation. This stage follows a repetitive sequence of preparing for sport, sport performance, recovery, evaluation, and adjusting the plan to prepare for the next phase of sport. As the intensity of sport and training elevates in this stage, the mindset of our coaching shifts to physical readiness, fatigue management, and injury reduction. Further areas of priority include logging performance, developing consistency, programming recovery into training, nutrition, developing competitive spirit, and implementing mental training techniques.

The benefit of the group allows us to incorporate partner drills, or competitive group activities to the beginning of the session. Each session includes speed/agility, power, and strength training. Strength training is individually assigned to athletes based on previous injuries, sport participation, needs, and experience.

Monday & Wednesday 5:00/6:00/7:00PM

Speed Training (Ages 14-18)

Speed Training Sessions focus on movement efficiency to help reduce injuries and increase linear (Acceleration and Max velocity), lateral, and multidirectional speed. This group emphasizes technical proficiency and the quality of repetitions, as opposed to volume, such as “conditioning,” making it a great option for in-season or off-season athletes.
