High School Athlete Programs

Sport can do so many great things for the minds, bodies and spirits of our young people.  Just to name a few… Sport can give kids the opportunity to travel the world, find their career and make friends for life. It teaches them so much.

Sport makes the biggest impact on someone when they are consistently improving. If not, they often quit. We have noticed this happens around 15 years of age.  They get busy, they get hurt or they get disheartened when they plateau.

That’s where we come in.

Acceleration Australia has been training high school athletes since the year 2000.  With our experience, we can work with your school and the sporting goals of your students to get them into sport, keep them in sport and encourage a lifetime of playing sport.

You can give the kids at your school the opportunity to become a better athlete, to learn more about human movement and to have a strong knowledge base for a lifetime of being active.

Sports Team Excellence

Offering sport-specific performance training to a team or sport at your high school can make a big impact. We have designed complete programs for tennis, basketball, rugby and swimming teams around Brisbane. Take their potential and grow it into something spectacular for your school spirit and the longevity of each athlete’s sporting career.

HPE Education

Your HPE students will learn from the professionals how to do everything our professional coaches do. They will run through all aspects of our training with a Head Performance Coach. These excursions also help students complete aspects of their Cert III in Fitness.

These excursion days include:

  • performance testing session
  • education on trigger pointing, deep system and basic acceleration mechanics.
  • Example training session with full dynamic warmup, acceleration, change of direction drills, steering, strength and mobility work.

Speed and Agility

All sports require you to move quickly. Acceleration programs always incorporate drills to get the athletes moving their feet as quickly as possible and in a way that replicates the movements they make in their chosen sport.

We use various equipment to help with body position and progressive overload to ensure that athletes do not slow down as they grow in height and weight.

Strength and Power

Using cable pulleys, dumbbells, barbells and body weight exercises, our performance coaches will write, monitor and managed the athletes throughout their program. Each program is designed to create a strong stable body that is more resistant to injury and more powerful and quick in competition.

Core strength training in groups is great because it makes workouts enjoyable. Power training (Jumping) is fun and educational for the boys and girls. You would be surprised by how many people do not know how to jump and land appropriately.

Strength training for athletes can have an amazing effect on sports performance and injury reduction.

The sessions are held before and after school and run for 75 minutes for the senior level athletes (begin using free weights) and 45 minutes for the juniors.

Vertical Jump

Based on our research and development from the last 25 plus years, we have written a vertical jump program. This involves extending your Acceleration Strength and Speed training to include specialised plyometric exercises made for helping athletes jump higher.

Testing:

We measure aspects such as flexibility, power, agility, and speed. This testing protocol may be implemented up to 3 times per year.

Included in the results will be a comparison to our normalised data since the year 2001 so you will know exactly where you stand in comparison to many thousands of athletes.

  • “Acceleration has evolved a training direction that is ideal for the development athlete. They are critically aware of the importance of an athletes’ ability to MOVE WELL. This training direction is critical in this early stage of an athletes sporting journey. Specifically, Acceleration has trained Rugby athletes from junior to Super Rugby standards by developing the strength, power and speed qualities necessary to perform at the highest levels. Acceleration’s ability to train the individual within a team is a true testament to the quality of their coaches and their training. I strongly endorse the ‘Acceleration Way’ for all Rugby players competing at every level..”
Will Markwick, Director of Performance, Newcastle Knights, NRL.
  • “In my former role as High Performance General Manager with Basketball Queensland, I had the opportunity to work closely with the team at Acceleration Australia. They provided an outstanding athletic foundation for athletes who were serious about taking their game to the next level.What stood out was their commitment to the individual. Every athlete in our program had an individually tailored program, designed specifically for their needs. Acceleration Australia played a significant role in Queensland’s representative program’s sustained success over many years.

    Great training starts with experienced, competent providers. Acceleration Australia’s proven track record speaks for itself, having supported countless Queensland athletes on pathways to US college scholarships, professional careers, and representing Australia on the Olympic stage.     My advice to parents is simple: invest in the athletic development of your child. With the right support, confidence and physical foundation, you’ll see their performance accelerate to the next level, literally..
