For Kids & Teens Ages 8–15
Building strong bodies, confident minds, and resilient kids—through safe, age-appropriate strength training.
Kids today often fall into one of two extremes: unstructured activity with little guidance, or highly specialized sport with growing physical and mental pressure. What’s missing is a strong foundation—movement skills, body awareness, and confidence that supports both performance and well-being.
At Academy of Lions, our Youth Strength & Conditioning Program helps kids build that foundation in a safe, supportive, and structured environment—meeting them where they are and helping them grow from there.
We train the whole child: physical skills, social connection, and psychological resilience.
Build coordination, strength, and movement fundamentals with safe, age-appropriate progressions.
Games, group challenges/training foster teamwork, communication, inclusion, and support.
Breathing and reflection practices help kids manage stress, emotions, and confidence.
The program is led by Coach Saja (BKin, CSCS), a trauma-informed, strength & conditioning specialist with over a decade of coaching experience. Saja has worked with youth, varsity athletes, general population, and Olympic-pathway athletes—bringing deep expertise and genuine care to every session.
Her approach prioritizes safety, engagement, and progression, creating an environment where kids feel supported, capable, and confident.
Two age-based groups with coaching that’s adaptable, inclusive, and scaled to your child’s experience.
No experience needed. Every session is coached and scaled—kids are challenged appropriately, supported consistently, and taught how to move well.
