Youth Athlete Coaching

We love coaching young athletes to run faster, get stronger, move better and prevent injuries. Ages 11-18 are the biggest window of opportunity to build athleticism for life – and the right coaching makes all the difference.

Our sessions are coached by experienced Strength & Conditioning professionals and follow structured programmes that help your child progress safely and confidently.

We want to give your child the best chance of success, which is why our youth athlete coaching starts at £14.50 per session and gets cheaper when they train more regularly.

Our small group youth athlete training sessions come in the form of Strength & Conditioning (gym based) and Speed & Agility (pitch based on 3G). All sessions run at Brighton Rugby Club, Waterhall (HQ), weekdays at 5pm.

Speed & Agility Training

Mondays and Thursdays, 5pm – 4G pitch at Brighton Rugby Club, Waterhall.

Learn how to run fast and apply speed to sport – improving acceleration, agility, top speed and running technique for football, rugby, hockey and more.

S&C Coaching (11-18)

Tuesdays and Fridays, 5pm – private gym at Brighton Rugby Club, Waterhall.

Safe, fun and effective training that builds strength, power and confidence while improving movement quality and reducing injury risk – ideal for young athletes in any sport.

Injury Rehabilitation for Young Athletes

Flexible personalised coaching at any of our gyms.

Most young people bounce back quickly – but when pain lingers or injuries repeat, expert guidance matters. We can adapt training, rebuild confidence and support a safe return to sport.

"The BEST gym I’ve been with, have been training with Ascend for about two to three months and my physical health, fitness and mental wellbeing has improved immeasurably. They really do give a BIG shit about their purpose and mission, and they want to share that with everyone involved. The gym is inclusive and you really do get a strong sense of community from being there. I would also emphasise that you do not need to be a high performing athlete to join! I had been out of action for quite some time, and previously quite ill, before joining Ascend so there is no one size fits all, and everyone goes at their own pace. I feel well looked after and attended to by the coaches there and the members are also lovely. Cannot recommend it enough - if you’re thinking about joining, just do it - it may well be one of the best decisions you made 💪😁❤️"

100% would recommend the guys here at Ascend Performance. Whatever your fitness goals, or if you are looking to come back from injury, they will be behind you all the way with first class coaching to get you where you want to be.

Josh

I can't recommend these guys highly enough. To have coaches with such amazing expertise on our doorstep in Brighton is a blessing.

I lost 12kg in my first 4 months!

Truly the best gym i’ve been to! Small group PT so you get the attention and customization that you need but also are in an environment with other people who can’t support and encourage you! Also where you’ll find best and ONLY fully qualified S&C coaches in Brighton and Hove!

Alanna

I absolutely love being a part of Ascend, it feels like a real community.

Since joining Ascend I feel fitter, more motivated and I have more energy in the mornings.
