Youth Athletic Programme

“Harry runs with much more power and he’s really understanding how to get the most out of his physicality. When you see the way Luke and Daryl use their goals to motivate them, it’s inspiring to watch as a parent.”

“I really enjoyed my experience at Level Up Athletes for the week, every day had a different focus and the attention to detail on the set-up each day was amazing. It targeted all factors that an athletes needs to compete at the top level and I learnt loads from it. The coaches were very supportive throughout and made it a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely be there with them throughout the summer!”

“My 13-year-old daughter participated in Level Up Athletes during the half-term week, attending four out of the five sessions, and she absolutely loved it! She thoroughly enjoyed working with Luke and Darryl. They have an excellent way of connecting with the kids while maintaining a professional approach, educating them about physical performance and how to optimise it.

She found the sessions both fun and educational, and they were beneficial for her physical health. I had the opportunity to observe a couple of the sessions and was very impressed.”

“My 14 year old daughter attended 4/5 of the level up athletes trials during May half term. Firstly I want to thank Luke and Darryl for their generosity in providing the free week to Cambridge City FC players, this was a great opportunity and appreciated by so many. My daughter gained so much from the week, and it gave her a real insight into how she can physically develop further to become stronger, faster and more agile on the pitch. She currently works alongside Luke in his gym, but the Level Up athletes sessions gave her a different field-based focus and have allowed her to consider new goals for her development. The attention to detail that Level Up offers is the key to success, and it was good to see the children encouraged and challenged in such a professional, adult manner. She particularly enjoyed the speed session, and this is one we look to explore further in the summer holidays. Thank you!”

“Having witnessed the approach taken by Level Up Athlete coaches, Luke and Daryll, I have been very impressed by the attention to detail, knowledge and enthusiasm on display. My son is 12 years old, but everything is explained in a way that he can understand, which is really important; this is what you need to do, this is how you do it and this is why. The group sessions were a very good introduction, the 1:1 sessions provide even more insight and attention to detail on a personal level. As an experienced football coach (and former player) I recognise the importance of this aspect of the game. Being mobile around the pitch, with pace and power, is a key asset for any player and the programme offered by Level Up Athletes can play a big part in making that achievable.”

“My daughter is 14 and It’s the holidays, yet she’s wanting to get out of bed and come to the training! Their attitude, their positivity and the fact they really enjoy what they’re doing makes the kids want to come!”
