Build Strong, Confident, Healthy Kids
At Selwyn Combat Sports Centre, our Kids Strength & Conditioning programme is designed to help children develop athleticism, confidence, coordination, and healthy movement habits in a safe, supportive environment.
Our sessions focus on age-appropriate strength training, speed, balance, agility, mobility, and fitness — helping kids become stronger athletes both on and off the mats. Whether your child competes in sport or simply wants to build confidence and stay active, our coaching provides the perfect foundation for long-term physical development.
Located in Rolleston, we provide professional youth athletic training for children across Selwyn and Christchurch.
What Kids Learn in Our Strength & Conditioning Classes
Our programme is built around proper movement mechanics and long-term athletic development rather than “lifting heavy weights.” Every session is supervised by experienced coaches who prioritise safety, technique, and enjoyment.
Kids will develop:
- Strength and body control
- Coordination and balance
- Speed and agility
- Mobility and flexibility
- Cardiovascular fitness
- Injury prevention habits
- Discipline and confidence
- Teamwork and resilience
We teach children how to move correctly, train safely, and enjoy exercise from a young age.
Safe & Age-Appropriate Training
At Selwyn Combat Sports Centre, we understand that children require different coaching approaches than adults.
Our classes are carefully structured around:
- Functional bodyweight exercises
- Movement-based games and drills
- Athletic development
- Technique-focused strength work
- Positive coaching and encouragement
Sessions are suitable for beginners through to young athletes involved in rugby, football, martial arts, netball, basketball, wrestling, and other sports.
