Youth Athlete Training in Langley (Ages 10–18)
We teach your kid how to move well, get stronger safely, and build the kind of athleticism that transfers to any sport — all inside our private performance facility in Langley.
Whether your child is coming back from an injury or getting ready for tryouts, we bridge the gap between rehab, performance, and sport.
Our Approach to Developing Strong, Resilient Athletes
Every program is built on three pillars: perform better, recover smarter, and stay healthy longer.
Maximizing Performance
We build speed, strength, power, and coordination through programming that grows with your athlete. Whether they are trying to make a rep team or earn a starting spot, we build the plan to get them there.
Facilitating Recovery
Kids train hard, practice often, and play games on weekends. We teach them how to manage training load, prioritize sleep and nutrition, and use mobility work to stay fresh between sessions.
Injury Prevention
We strengthen the muscles, tendons, and movement patterns that protect against ACL tears, shoulder injuries, and overuse injuries. We catch imbalances early and correct them before they become problems.
Who This Program Is For
If any of these sound like your kid, this program is built for them.
They play rep or club-level sport and need structured off-field training to gain an edge.
They are new to training and you want them to learn proper technique and body awareness first.
They play multiple sports and need well-rounded athletic development that transfers across all of them.
They deal with recurring knee, back, or shoulder pain and you want to fix the root cause — not just manage symptoms.
They are recovering from a sports injury and need a supervised return-to-sport program with a certified kinesiologist.
You want your child with certified professionals in a private facility — not unsupervised at a commercial gym copying exercises off social media.

We teach your kid how to move well, get stronger safely, and build the kind of athleticism that transfers to any sport. Here are the five areas we focus on.
Strength & Power
Bodyweight, free weights, bands, and med balls. We progress loads only when technique is solid — building real strength that shows up on the field.
Speed & Agility
Sprint mechanics, acceleration drills, and change-of-direction work. Your child learns to move faster, cut sharper, and react quicker.
Technique & Skill Foundation
Before we add load, we build movement competency — squat, hinge, push, pull, lunge, and rotation. This foundation keeps your child safe and makes every exercise more effective.
Mobility & Movement Quality
Growing bodies need targeted mobility work. We address restrictions in the hips, ankles, and shoulders to maintain range of motion and reduce injury risk.
Endurance & Conditioning
Intervals, circuits, and drills tailored to your child's sport so they perform at a high level from the first whistle to the last.
How Training Works
Getting started is simple. Here is how it works.
1. Free Consultation
You and your child meet with a coach for a no-obligation conversation. We learn about their sport, goals, and injury history. You learn about our approach and facility. This is where we figure out if we are the right fit.
2. Movement Assessment
Your child completes a movement screening where we evaluate strength, flexibility, coordination, and movement quality. This baseline helps us build the right program and track progress.
3. Custom Program Design
Based on the assessment, their coach builds a program tailored to their sport, goals, and developmental stage. It evolves as your child gets stronger, faster, and more confident.
4. Train, Track, Adjust
Your child trains consistently with their coach. We track performance, adjust the program as needed, and keep you informed. Regular reassessments ensure we keep challenging your athlete and delivering results.
Program Highlights
Designed to Be Fun
Training should be something your child looks forward to. Our sessions mix variety, challenges, and an encouraging atmosphere that keeps young athletes engaged. When training is enjoyable, athletes stay consistent — and consistency drives results.
Online & Hybrid Options
Cannot always make it in? We offer online and hybrid options. Your child gets a programmed plan they can follow at home or at school, with video demos and regular coach check-ins. Train in-person when you can, follow the online program when you cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions About Youth Athlete Training
Common questions from parents about our youth training programs.
Yes, when properly supervised by certified professionals. Research consistently shows that age-appropriate resistance training is safe and beneficial for youth athletes. At Kenaz Training, we never include max-effort lifts for young athletes. Instead, we focus on bodyweight exercises, light resistance, and movement quality before progressing to heavier loads. All exercises are selected based on your child's developmental stage, and our kinesiologists are trained in youth-specific programming protocols.
We accept youth athletes starting at age 10. At this age, most young athletes have developed sufficient body awareness and maturity to benefit from structured training. For athletes ages 10 to 13, our programs focus on foundational movement skills, coordination, body control, and building a love for training. Every program is tailored to your child's individual developmental stage, so they progress at the right pace for their body.
Absolutely. Our certified kinesiologists specialize in injury rehabilitation and return-to-sport programming for young athletes. Whether your child is dealing with a sprain, strain, growth-plate issue, or post-surgical recovery, we design a safe, progressive program to help them heal properly and return to their sport stronger than before. We also coordinate with your child's physiotherapist or doctor to ensure a seamless recovery plan.
We offer flexible scheduling to work around your child's school and sport commitments. Sessions are available Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. For most youth athletes, we recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week. During competitive seasons, we may adjust to 1 to 2 sessions focused on maintenance and injury prevention. Your child's coach will work with you to create a schedule that fits your family's routine.
Youth athlete training rates depend on the format — one-on-one, semi-private, or small group sessions. We offer packages at various price points to accommodate different budgets. Contact us for a free consultation where we can discuss your child's goals and provide specific pricing information. We also offer sibling discounts and multi-session packages at reduced rates.
Yes. While our foundational programs for younger athletes emphasize general athletic development, our programs for older athletes incorporate sport-specific training elements. We work with young athletes in hockey, soccer, basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, track and field, swimming, martial arts, and many other sports. Sport-specific programs address the unique physical demands of each discipline while maintaining a foundation of well-rounded athletic development.
The first session begins with a movement assessment where our coach evaluates your child's strength, flexibility, coordination, and movement quality. This is not a test — it is a baseline assessment that helps us design the right program. After the assessment, the coach will walk your child through some foundational exercises and discuss their goals. Your child should wear comfortable athletic clothing and running shoes, and bring a water bottle.
Both options have benefits. Individual training provides one-on-one coaching attention and a fully customized program, which is ideal for athletes with specific goals, injuries, or those preparing for tryouts and combines. Group or semi-private training offers a social and motivating environment where young athletes train alongside peers, which builds camaraderie and healthy competition. Many of our youth clients start with individual sessions to build a foundation, then transition to semi-private training.
