Junior Strength & Conditioning Camp (P7-S2)

This October, Robert Gordon’s College is excited to launch its brand-new Junior Strength & Conditioning Camp for boys and girls in Primary 7 through to S2.

Based at Robert Gordon’s College, Schoolhill, the camp provides a fun, engaging and professionally coached introduction to the fundamentals of strength, conditioning and athletic development. Led by a qualified RGC Coach, sessions are carefully designed to be safe, inclusive and age appropriate, supporting young people of all abilities and levels of sporting experience.

Across the camp, participants will combine practical training with interactive learning, exploring key areas of athletic development including:

• Warm-ups and movement preparation

• Fundamental movement skills and strength exercises

• Speed, agility and coordination

• Developing power and athletic ability

• Goal setting and exercise psychology

• Nutrition and healthy habits for young athletes

• Building confidence and positive training habits

Sessions will include a mixture of individual challenges, small-group activities and team-based tasks, giving participants plenty of opportunities to learn, collaborate and have fun. They may even get the chance to lead a warm-up, create a basic training programme or put their newly developed skills to the test through fun and dynamic movement activities.

The emphasis is not simply on getting fitter or stronger. Pupils will learn why we train, how to train safely and how they can take ownership of their own physical development.
