All of our programs are targeted towards increasing the qualities that lead to improved athleticism, health, sporting performance and reduced injury rates.

Youth Athletic Development Academy athletes are committed to character development, resilience in the face of adversity, and showing respect to all. They take responsibility in the management of their own discipline in regards to health and performance — including recovery, training, nutrition and mindset.
Our athletes understand that results come from intrinsic motivation, consistency, long-term commitment, and a love of the process. Their best effort and attitude is always put forward.
Youth Athletic Development Academy athletes are committed to upholding this culture within their community; striving to positively contribute to this environment while also supporting other athletes in their journey towards becoming their best.
Following specific training principles designed to reduce the risk of common injuries specific to the youth athlete.
Improving the physical development of youth athletes, specific to their age and stage of development.
Changing attitudes, behaviours and beliefs amongst youth regarding their health and wellbeing by helping them find passion in being active and enjoying movement.
Optimising the physical qualities that underpin excellent sport performance, including areas such as strength, speed, agility, endurance, power, flexibility and coordination.
This program has been brilliant for my three high school aged kids! They are not only fitter but happier and more focused at school. Harry is an excellent mentor for all of them and they have a lot of respect for him.
Scarlett loves participating in your classes, whether online or face-to-face! Thank you for keeping her fit and excited to exercise, especially during these times. We are so lucky she has a coach who really knows what's important for the kids to be doing in exercise, but most importantly someone who coaches with such positivity and patience. Thanks Harry!
Thank you so much for all you have done for Jae this term. We have really noticed the difference as he has been injury-free [which is a first, as he usually over extends and gets sore hips and knees].
Our two boys attend Harry's fitness program as part of their tennis development and they thoroughly enjoy it. Harry connects very well with the children and they always look forward to his sessions.
The Youth Athletic Development Academy was recommended to us by my son's physiotherapist when he started complaining of sore knees after running. After a few sessions, we started to see a massive improvement in his form and decided to enrol our daughter in the Kidfit program too. I have been absolutely blown away at the progress she has made, and the fact that she absolutely loves her gym sessions too. It's a true testimony to Harry's skills as a coach that he can challenge and engage both my active, athletic son and my 'not so fond of sport in general' daughter at the same time. They both love their sessions and making progress at their own pace. I can't recommend Harry highly enough!
