We build players that dominate Gameday.

The ASSA training system has been designed for progressive athletic development in speed mechanics, acceleration and force production (strength) to make you run faster, for longer.

Based upon decades of experience and world-class research, we specialise in youth long term development for explosive sport speed and reduction in injury through perfect movement mechanics.

The programs are a huge success for all field and court based sports players aged 9 and above and are easily implemented into your pre or post season training plans.

The ability to rapidly and efficiently accelerate, decelerate and change direction is an essential element of success. Having the physical capacities required to maintain explosive speed (repeat sprint ability) to the final whistle will set you apart from your opposition. Contesting the ball, breaking away from your opponent and maintaining control at a fast pace are all attributed to athletic function and speed development. At the Academy of Sport Speed Australia we focus on perfecting these skills while dramatically increasing explosive strength and power.

ASSA provides world class athletic development coaching with a fully qualified ASSA coach conducting a structured coaching session for the athlete. The sessions are 60 minutes in duration and all necessary equipment will be provided by the ASSA coach. The program has been written to allow maximum progression and development over a 10 week block of training within the school term.

Pre-Season Athletics Sprint Training Program­­­

The pre-season athletics sprint training program is a crucial component in preparing sprinters for peak performance during the competitive season.

This specialized program focuses on developing technical proficiency, speed, speed endurance and power to enhance sprinting capabilities. Athletes engage in a variety of training drills and exercises tailored to improve acceleration, top-end speed, and overall sprinting mechanics. Workouts may include sprint drills, plyometrics, strength training, and technique refinement sessions to optimize performance.

The pre-season training period allows athletes to build a strong foundation, address weaknesses, and fine-tune their racing skills before entering competitive races. By following a structured pre-season athletics sprint training program, sprinters can increase their explosiveness, speed endurance, and efficiency on the track, ultimately leading to improved race times and better overall results.

This dedicated preparation during the pre-season sets the stage for success and helps athletes reach their full potential when it matters most during the competitive season.

You can find this program under the APP TRAINING PROGRAMS menu.
