The Athlete Experience, summer edition. Now from age 9.
Six weeks of proper athlete training over two blocks. A Combine to open each block, a Game Day to finish it. Our Under 16s are back, and for the first time there’s a group just for 9 to 11 year olds. A first for The Gap.
This summer, two groups. Including a brand new one for 9 to 11 year olds.
Two three-week blocks of proper athlete training: Mon 30 Nov to Sat 19 Dec, and Mon 4 Jan to Sat 23 Jan. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, with Wednesdays out at Wittonga Park. Broden leads every session.
Ages 9 to 11. A first for The Gap: high-quality training built for younger kids. Learning to move well, jump, land, sprint and lift.
Ages 12 to 15. Strength, speed and power, coached properly, ready for next season.
Week 1 finishes with the Combine on the Saturday. Week 2 builds confidence, strength, speed and coordination. Week 3 finishes with Game Day.
Any 5 sessions over the summer, in their own group.
Opens Wed 11 NovAll 11 sessions of a block, with the Combine and Game Day. Use them in one block or split them across both. Full Pack kids finish with their own Athlete Pack: results, coach notes and a home programme.
Opens Wed 11 NovBoth blocks, as many sessions as they like. On sale until Sunday 6 December.
Opens Wed 11 NovEvery kid gets the Academy tee if they don’t have one yet. A brother or sister is $20 less, taken off when you buy. Already training with us, or a USC member? Open the USC app for your price.
Three ways to train.
Come to class when it suits, commit to a term and get coached to your sport, or do the holiday block. Most athletes start with the first and move to the second. Pick one below.
Come when it suits.
Coached strength and conditioning for high-school age athletes. Buy a pack, book the sessions you can make in the USC app, and there is no lock-in. Whether you already play a sport or have never trained before, no gym experience is needed. Your first session is free.
Five classes, valid six weeks. Works out at $15 a session. Books any Youth S&C session and Youth Field Conditioning on Wednesdays.
Choose the 5 pass →Ten classes, valid twelve weeks. Works out at $14 a session. Books any Youth S&C session and Youth Field Conditioning on Wednesdays.
Choose the 10 pass →Parents can book from the website, or in the USC app once you have a pass. The same pass books Youth Field Conditioning on Wednesdays too, off-site at Wittonga Park in The Gap. Academy athletes train on the same packs, they just start the term with Broden.
Hinge, squat, push, jump, done right before we load them. Strength that shows up on the field, the court and the pitch.
Speed, agility and landing mechanics coached properly, so kids move well before they move fast.
Each week builds on the last. Every session coached by qualified strength and conditioning coaches and exercise scientists.
Kids learn what it takes to improve, and that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
Start with Broden. Train how you like.
The Academy is a term with a plan behind it. It starts with a one-on-one session with Broden built around your sport: tested, goals set, and a plan for which days you are in and what each one is for. Then you train on your pack on whatever days suit, and retest in the last week to see what moved. What gets tested depends on the athlete: a rugby player and a swimmer do not get the same battery. Athletes in the Academy are held to the USC Youth Standard, and that expectation is part of what you sign up to.
A 60-minute start session with Broden plus 10 sessions at USC, any day. That is the 10-pack at $80 instead of $140. The pack runs to the end of Term 4, then you continue on normal packs.
Start the Academy →A 60-minute start session with Broden, your own program in the training app, check-ins through the term and a 30-minute follow-up. For athletes who train somewhere else, or cannot make the days.
Start with programming →*Youth Field Conditioning: Wednesdays 4:15pm, off-site at Wittonga Park in The Gap (we meet on the main grass area), for speed, agility, change of direction and some conditioning. After Term 4 the Academy runs two Christmas holiday blocks, 30 Nov to 17 Dec and 4 to 21 Jan, and there may be a younger group too.
Two weeks. Six sessions. One real athlete's block.
The Academy's holiday block, and the easiest way in. Proper strength and conditioning coaching, performance testing with your own numbers to beat, a team, a wristband, and a Game Day. Every athlete walks away with a performance profile and a home programme.
30 Nov to 19 Dec and 4 to 23 Jan, with a new Under 12s group for 9 to 11 year olds.
See the Summer Academy →Every kid deserves the chance to train like a real athlete.
Broden heads up USC Youth. Learn the movement patterns properly, enjoy the process of doing it, and build strength, confidence and fitness all at once, no matter where a kid is starting from. He's big on the education side too: kids leave understanding the beliefs behind training, plus the basics of fuelling and recovery, not just how to lift. He has also coached youth strength and conditioning with the Brisbane Lions Academy and Acceleration Australia.
