Our Junior Speed Squad is designed for young athletes aged 7–14 who want to improve their speed, acceleration and running technique in a structured, high-quality coaching environment.
The program is suitable for athletes involved in Athletics, School Athletics, football, soccer, basketball and other field or court sports, as well as young athletes simply wanting to become faster and more confident runners.
The Ivanhoe Junior Squad will run as a 6-week block from Monday 5 October through to Saturday 14 November 2026.
Athletes can train once or twice per week, allowing families to choose the training schedule that best suits them.
The program is progressively structured across the six weeks, rather than operating as standalone sessions, allowing athletes to build on the skills and technical changes developed from week to week.
Throughout the block, athletes will work on:
Sprint technique
Starts
Acceleration
Maximum speed
Running coordination and efficiency
Speed and movement skills
Age-appropriate speed endurance
Sessions are designed to improve how athletes run, helping them become faster, more efficient and more confident in their movement.
Monday – 4:30pm
Wednesday – 4:30pm
Saturday – 9:00am
Location: Chelsworth Park, Ivanhoe
Athletes can enrol for one or two sessions per week using the session selection options when booking.
To maintain the quality and individualisation of our coaching, places are limited to just 10 athletes per session.
Keeping numbers small allows our coach to provide regular individual feedback, technical correction and progression while still maintaining the competitive and social benefits of group training.
Once a session reaches capacity, enrolments will close.
The Junior Squad is designed for athletes aged 7–14
It is suitable for:
Young athletes already involved in athletics
Team-sport athletes wanting to become faster
Athletes wanting additional speed development alongside their current sport
Children wanting to improve their running technique, coordination and confidence
Athletes aged 12-13+ looking for a more advanced and performance-focused program can enrol in our separate Ivanhoe Offseason Program.
If enrolling two children, select 2 Athletes when booking.
Both athletes should be attending the same selected training day or days.
We are hoping to continue the Ivanhoe Junior Squad beyond the initial 6-week block, subject to coach availability and sufficient athlete numbers.
Families enrolled in the initial block will be given priority access to any continuation program before places are opened more broadly.
Athletes can still join after the six-week block has commenced where places remain available.
Pricing will be adjusted to reflect the number of training weeks remaining.
