Important Camp Notes!

RECOMMENDATION: The sessions can be done stand-alone but we recommend doing all of the sessions to feel a difference in your speed & agility by the end of Camp. Consistency is key to learning these new skills.

PLEASE NOTE: There are no refunds after signing up! Make-up sessions can be arranged within the camp but are not available after the 2nd of October, with openings subject to availability. Also, note that our system doesn’t send session reminder messages.

  • Dynamic Warm-up (Running Form)
  • Speed & Agility (Movement System)
  • Recovery
NEW FOR SEPTEMBER 2026: ‘Peak Height Velocity’

Peak Height Velocity is the period when a child grows fastest in height. At each Speed Camp location, this measurement will be taken to predict when your athlete will have their biggest growth spurt and predict their adult height (+/- 5 cm).
Measurements include:

  • Height
  • Body Weight
  • Along with their date of birth and gender, these elements will be calculated in a formula to provide the prediction

When is it at Speed Camp?
During the 2026 September holidays, the Peak Height Velocity Measurement will be done for the whole group in the first session. For the rest of the sessions, it will be available to do at the end of each session so that those who join Camp later won’t miss out.
Results will be emailed to parents after the session.

Each Speed Camp day is different and includes a game at the end to simulate a sport-like scenario to practice new skills.
Don’t miss out on some awesome sessions!

Who is this for?

Great for people aged 8-18 years old.

Teens and kids who play sports that include running, like soccer, basketball, netball, tennis, cricket, touch footy, rugby and many more, would greatly benefit from this camp.

Don’t play sport or don’t see your sport on the list?- Anyone who wants to improve their run and keep active is welcome!

Depending on the size of the camp, the activities during sessions may be split up by age with an over-12yrs and under-12yrs groups.

Increase your Speed and Agility!

We’re celebrating 15 YEARS of making high-quality Speed and Agility training more accessible for young athletes.

For ages 8 – 18 years.

Get faster and learn to run with confidence these school holidays. Improving quickness and agility is Acceleration’s specialty.

Your coach has designed a program to improve your stability, flexibility, speed, agility and running form over the school break. This speed-specific camp will help stay active over the holidays, and hit the ground running for your next sporting season.

TESTING DAY

Only during the Summer holidays (Dec + Jan) our Sandgate, Auchenflower, Chandler and Southport Centres host Testing Days.
This is where we measure the 20m Sprint, Agility and Vertical Jump data of the participants on the first day and then re-test it on the last day.

This is a great introduction on how to do performance tests to prepare athletes for if they ever have to test at team trials in the future etc.
This can also give you a discount on our regular testing session if you want to join our Individualised Training after Speed Camp. Not all of our centres have this day because there aren’t as many sessions available.

Still want to do a testing session? You can book a separate session at our centres. Learn more here.
