Inside a JuniorGym session: What your child actually does at D8

If you've never seen a JuniorGym session, it can be hard to picture.

Here's a simple run-through of what a typical 10–15-year-old does in JuniorGym Academy, our youth strength training in Adelaide.

1. Arrive and check in

• Kids sign in
• Quick chat with coaches about how they're feeling and any niggles

2. Warm-up

• Simple games or drills to get moving
• Basic mobility for hips, shoulders and ankles
• Movement patterns (skips, shuffles, etc.)

3. Strength block

Examples:

• Squats (bodyweight or light load)
• Hinge pattern (hip hinge, RDL variations)
• Upper-body push and pull
• Core work

Coaches:

• Demonstrate
• Check technique
• Adjust weights and variations

This is the heart of our kids strength training in Adelaide.

4. Power / athleticism block

• Jumps and landings
• Short sprints or change-of-direction drills
• Sometimes med ball throws

All coached with a focus on safe technique, not maximum effort every rep.

5. Short conditioning / fun finisher

• Simple circuits or games
• Enough to challenge them, not break them

6. Pack up and quick debrief

• Kids help put gear away
• Short chat about what they did well
• Occasionally, quick updates or reminders for parents

The vibe: serious about safety and learning, but still fun.
