PARENT CORNER

For the parents behind every player

Everything you need to know about how your child trains, stays safe, and gets better — and how you can stay in the loop.

Safety & prehab

Safe, age-appropriate development

Performance coaching does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. These principles guide every programme.

Progressive loading

We build up gradually. Teens learn technique before adding weight, and every session includes a proper warm-up.

Prehab built in

Mobility, single-leg work and hamstring strengthening are part of the plan — not optional extras — to reduce injury risk.

Readiness monitoring

Members log how they feel each day. Tired or sore? The plan adjusts. We train hard, but we train smart.

Safety first: Always consult an appropriate healthcare professional before beginning any new exercise programme. Athletes under 18 should train with parent or guardian awareness and supervision where possible. Stop and seek advice if you experience pain.

Equipment needed

What your child needs to train

Every exercise has a bodyweight or minimal-equipment option, so beginners can start at home.

  • Bodyweight + resistance bands
  • A pair of dumbbells (or water jugs)
  • Open space for running drills
  • A phone to log sessions

Intermediate

  • Recovery tools (foam roller, bands)
Staying in the loop

How you see your child's progress

When your child joins as a member, the portal keeps everything transparent.

Readiness logs

Your child logs how they feel each day, so you can see they are training sensibly.

Personal records

Strength and speed gains are tracked over time — visible proof of progress.

Session checklists

A weekly checklist shows what is done and what is coming up.

Private & secure

Your child's data is kept confidential and only visible to them and the coach.

Parent consent

All athletes under 18 train with parent/guardian awareness and consent.

Direct access
