'The Level Vision'

At LevelUP, we understand that a successful future in sports begins with a strong foundation. Our multi-sport and athletic development camps are designed to cater to all levels of sporting ability, fostering growth from grassroots to national competition. Our coaching team employs innovative methods to support your child’s journey towards personal sporting success, whether at school, club, county, or national levels.

​

We believe that many top athletes started their journey by engaging in a variety of sports from a young age. Grassroots sports are crucial for developing fundamental skills and movements, which become ingrained in muscle memory. Limiting exposure to different sports can restrict the range of adaptable motor skills a child develops.

​

This is why we are committed to the benefits of well-coached, progressive multi-sport development camps. These camps provide the most effective way to build robust physical foundations. Our highly qualified coaching team, with diverse expertise, is dedicated to innovative and creative approaches to training.

 

There is a common misconception that focusing solely on a favorite sport leads to greater improvement. In reality, dedicating too much time to one sport between ages 6 and 10 can be counterproductive. It can lead to frustration and limit physical versatility. Engaging in a variety of sports helps children develop a broader range of movement skills and competencies, which often contributes to their overall athletic talent.

 

 

Between the ages 6 and 10

​

Is a vital age for building athletic foundations and the best way to do this is by participating in multi-sports and fun athletic development.

​

Sport should be used as a tool to aid physical development and build well-rounded athletes. Creating a diverse range of transferable skills.

 

Less focus on skill specific outcomes (even though we love seeing that happen naturally as a consequence), but instead, target the functional movement patterns* and movement competencies** that are related to these sports.

 

 

As children get to the ages of 10-14

​

They have started to establish their fundamental movement patterns and movement competencies.

 

Sport specific motor skill training will become of greater benefit. 

 

 

Participating and being coached in a wide range of sports will continue to promote a more diverse number of transferable movements and skills which allows individuals to be a more adaptable, creative and multi-dimensional sports people.
