Our Passion, Your Success!

The Young Athletes Training Academy was first set up in March 2009 by Rachel Light she did so because of the lack of health and fitness support and education available to children who are actively involved in community sports clubs.  The Academy is the first of its kind in the UK offering a unique and up to date service to children, clubs and parents delivering the highest quality of fitness training.  Children are given the opportunity to get fitter, stronger and more flexible to compliment their sports training.  Whatever the sport the Young Athletes Training Academy is available to help!

Trained by the best, to be the best!

The Academy believes to be the best you need to have the best coaches around you to promote your sporting success.  The YATA coaches are extremely passionate about their work and aim to give children in sport greater opportunities to progress further.

“I set up the Academy as I was amazed to discover how little support is offered to clubs, parents and young athletes in sport.   The industry is consistently changing and for our young athletes to be at the forefront of the game we need to be educating them now from a younger age.  By working with young athletes and offering high performance assessment and training, a wider opportunity for athlete development is available. The youngsters have a greater chance to progress further in their sport because they are educated to understand how and why looking after their body is important for progression in sport and for later on in life too.”

All clubs, all children, all parents!

The Academy has no fixed location and works from club training grounds, leisure centres, sports centres, just about anywhere that has an open space for the children to train in.  There are no restrictions with the Academy they are happy to work with any sport, all children from all ages and abilities, and any parent who has a child in a sports club.
