FSC Course
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.
Without acquiring the necessary skills at this early age, children may face recurring injuries, poor posture, and inadequate movement mechanics. It is essential that within this most crucial period we are able to establish a strong foundation for future performance.
By participating in this course, you will gain the practical tools and strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into your respective setting, helping to cultivate a culture of strength and resilience that not only enhances athletic performance but also supports overall well-being and instills lifelong healthy habits in the next generation of young athletes.
