Question 1

Is the training age-appropriate and safe for younger athletes?

Accepted Answer

Every program is built around age-appropriate mechanics, load, and volume. Factory Prep is designed specifically for ages 10–13 and prioritizes movement quality, coordination, and confidence before intensity. Injury prevention is one of the nine curriculum domains and runs through every session.

Question 2

My child is 12–14 — do they belong in Factory Prep or Factory Speed?

Accepted Answer

Placement in the 12–14 range is determined by the baseline assessment, not by a fixed age or grade cutoff. We look at movement quality, sprint mechanics, and training history to place each athlete where the intensity and complexity are right for them.

Question 3

How often do sessions run and how do you schedule them?

Accepted Answer

Programs run on a defined cadence with block-based scheduling. Specific session days and times, along with the current schedule, are shared at the assessment so we can match availability to the tier your athlete is placed in.

Question 4

What does a typical session look like?

Accepted Answer

A session runs a repeatable structure: activation and warm-up, mechanics work, sprint or start block, and structured recovery. Every athlete receives coaching cues and, on testing days, timed results they can track over the block.

Question 5

Do you guarantee specific times, scholarships, or roster spots?

Accepted Answer

No. We guarantee the process: assessment, curriculum, testing, retest. Athletic outcomes depend on the athlete's commitment, health, and the many factors outside a training program. What we do guarantee is that every athlete leaves with documented, dated results and a clear next block.

Question 6

What should my athlete bring to a session or the Speed Combine?

Accepted Answer

Turf shoes or trainers, athletic clothing, a water bottle, and, for the Speed Combine, cleats if the venue calls for them. We supply all timing equipment, cones, and gates.
