We’re excited to continue offering an outstanding opportunity for our young people through the Foundation Clinic, who also provide our onsite physiotherapy services.
Designed specifically for students in Years 7–13, the ACG Youth Development Programme (YDP) helps young people build strong movement foundations, boost confidence, and support both sporting ambitions and lifelong health — all through fun, safe, and effective exercise.
What the Programme Offers
Under the expert care of our Physiotherapist and Strength Coaching Team—led by Craig Newland and Clio Casserly—students will learn:
- Fundamental movement skills
- Safe and effective strength exercises
- How to move with confidence in sport, training, and daily life
The focus is on developing a broad “movement toolbox” so students feel empowered and capable, whether they are seasoned athletes or simply looking to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
This programme is suitable for:
- Students building everyday fitness
- Those recovering from injury
- Athletes preparing for new challenges or performance goals within their chosen sport(s)
To discuss your sport-specific/recovery programme requirements, please contact Craig Newland at craig@foundationclinic.co.nz
Our aim is to ensure every participant leaves with a positive, enjoyable experience of exercise and a renewed sense of what their body can do.
Why Strength Training Matters
Consistent strength training can increase overall strength by 30% to 50% in just 8–12 weeks. To grow and maintain that progress, training twice per week is ideal — exactly what this programme provides.
Programme Details
Open to:
Days & Times:
- Tuesday and Thursday mornings
- 7:00am – 8:00am
- Held in the Gymnasium and Fitness Room
Sessions will recommence 10 February of Term 1, and Week 1 of Terms 2 and 3.
Historically, YDP does not operate during Term 4 due to senior students being offsite for study leave and restricted use of the gymnasium. However, this is reviewed and determined in mid-Term 3 based on demand.
Cost:
- Term 1 $184 (NB: Costs may vary term to term due to the number weeks per term)
- A minimum of five students per session is required for the programme to run.
