Supporting your junior athlete in their quest for success
Welcome to The Academy
— Elite, personalised S&C for 12-18 year olds in Oxfordshire and Berkshire
Your child already has the natural athletic talent
But it’s hard to find quality S&C without paying somewhere between £50 and £250 per session.
That's why we've developed a flexible S&C programme, with The Academy.
Every session is adaptable to suit your child's age and sport, whether they’re in need of a recovery and mobility session, and any high-intensity sessions elsewhere.
The Academy is designed to enhance and compliment everything else you’re doing, not just add more or ‘harder’ work.
Sport-specific training for ambitious athletes
We run Mondays to Thursdays, from 18:15pm to 19:15pm
Open to athletes aged 12-18 from any sport
Sessions take place in Shiplake College’s gym facility (so no need to buy an additional gym membership)
Come to as many sessions as you’d like for £22.50 per week
No fixed commitment — attend when works for you
How do we manage individual programming within a group setting?
Your athlete deserves a training programme designed specifically for their sport and their goals.
But most group sessions mean generic exercises and slow progress, with no adaptation for individual sports or ability levels. At The Academy, we’ve engineered something different.
Using professional programming technology trusted by the likes of Premier League, Premiership Rugby and NFL teams, each athlete gets their own adapted training plan via an app.
Your athlete's programme evolves with their progress, no matter if they’re a fencer or rower, hockey player or cross-country runner.
athletes that know ‘why’ perform better
We’ve seen too many coaches telling sportspeople what to do, but not the 'why' behind it.
Training pieced together through YouTube videos can lead to poor habits developing.
That's why our experienced team breaks down the science into simple, relatable terms. This creates:
Deeper understanding of their own development
Better engagement with training
Faster progress through informed practice
Critical thinking about all aspects of their training
Confidence to ask questions and seek understanding
With low athlete-to-coach ratios, every session becomes an opportunity for learning and development. Because when athletes understand the 'why', they take ownership of the 'how'.
Turn natural talent into proven progress
You want to know your athlete is making real, measurable progress. But most training programmes rely purely on visual assessment and a stopwatch.
Throughout the programme, your athlete gets access to the same testing technology used by most Premier League, Premiership Rugby and NFL teams. Our comprehensive testing protocol…
Sets accurate baselines for key performance indicators, like strength, speed, power, mobility and endurance
Tracks precise improvements across all aspects of physical performance
Allows us to adapt programming based on real data
Identifies areas needing focused development
Backed by our data-driven approach, our athletes have more confidence in themselves to excel in challenging situations.
Expert S&C without the price tag
Balancing sport-specific training with school, competitions, and other commitments is a constant challenge for young athletes (and your diary).
That's why we've created a flexible training structure.
— Unlimited sessions for £22.50 per week
(So if you come to 4 sessions in a week, you’re paying less than £6 an hour, compared to 1-to-1 prices that sit anywhere between £50 and £250.)
Support your junior athlete in chasing their sporting dream
(in the most physically efficient & cost effective way)
