UNCAPD Speed & Agility Program – Term 4 (Ages 8–18)
 
Structured Athletic Development Pathway
 
Foundations → Development → Performance
 
Overview:
 
The UNCAPD Speed & Agility Program is a structured 8-week training pathway designed to develop athletes aged 8–18 through progressive, age-appropriate coaching.
 
Each stage of the program aligns with long-term athletic development principles, ensuring athletes build the technical foundations, physical qualities, and movement efficiency required for sustained sporting performance.
 
Foundations (Ages 8–10): Movement competency and coordination
Development (Ages 11–13): Skill refinement and applied speed
Performance (Ages 14–18): Performance optimisation and advanced athletic qualities
 
Across all levels, sessions are delivered by experienced performance coaches in a structured, high-quality training environment.
 
Sessions are designed to improve speed, acceleration, agility, coordination, movement efficiency, and overall athletic performance while creating a positive and engaging training environment.
