Prep Training

Designed for athletes ages 15-18, in or out of seasonal sports.

Train at a Higher Level

Designed for athletes ages 15-18, Prep training programs are designed to complement- not compete with your sport, in or out of season. Our coaches carefully manage intensity, volume, and recovery to enhance performance while reducing the risk of burnout or injury. Training is essential for maintaining strength, preventing performance drop-off, and staying one step ahead of the competition. At D1, we build smarter athletes who train with purpose, recover properly, and show up stronger when it matters most.

What Athletes Will Learn

Prep athletes train with a focus on total athletic development, including:

Speed
Safety
Strength
Athleticism

Prep Training at D1 is built for athletes who are ready to perform at the next level. Our programming mirrors a Division 1 training environment, with a focus on developing speed, power, strength, endurance, and mental toughness. As athletes master movement at a higher level, they progress into advanced strength work, plyometrics, and sport-specific speed and agility training—helping them become faster, more explosive, and more resilient in competition.

Athletes are exposed to training that aligns with:

Performance-based development
Structured strength and conditioning
Increased demands on effort, focus, and consistency

"I signed my two sons up (ages 15 and 9) at D1 and they are loving it! They are being active and are challenged but are having a good time doing it! The D1 coaches push them while also explaining every exercise that are doing. They stress the importance of teamwork, encouraging one another, and completing each activity to the very end. I see us spending a lot of time at D1 in the future!"
