Our accredited Foundational Strength & Conditioning course (FSC) is a 1-day training course, applying theoretical knowledge in a practical context to enhance your skills and application in the field of junior Strength & Conditioning.
Our course in Foundational Strength & Conditioning (FSC) will empower parents, teachers and coaches with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be able to safely and effectively implement strong physical foundations to young people in their own environments both with and without equipment.
