Youth Speed Fundamentals

A 6-week speed development program for young athletes ages 7-12 in Vancouver, taught by Dr. David Duizer, ND, CSCS

6 Week Training Series

Unlock Your Child's True Athletic Potential

Speed isn't just about running more sprints or doing more footwork drills.

True speed development requires proper mechanics, smart programming, and protecting fast-twitch muscle development during the critical years between 7-12.

Your child will develop:

  • Proper sprint, jump, and change-of-direction mechanics that translate to every sport

  • Fast-twitch muscle fiber development protected through smart, age-appropriate programming

  • Nervous system adaptations that unlock explosive power and true speed

  • Measurable improvements tracked across 6 weeks with professional-grade timing

Speed can be trained - when you have the right fundamentals.

A Proven Framework, A Trusted Guide

I'm Dr. David Duizer - Naturopathic Doctor, Strength Coach & Former University Athlete

Over the past 10 years I've worked with athletes to optimize their performance through evidence-based training, nutrition, and physiological testing.

But my passion for speed development is personal.

I was a multi-sport athlete growing up - track and field, cross country, baseball, hockey, and basketball. I went on to play university basketball for the Royal Military College of Canada, where I was starting point guard, team MVP, led the nation in minutes played, and earned Academic All-Canadian honors for two years.

We had elite strength coaches. We trained twice daily. We were the fittest team in the nation.

But I never reached my speed goals.

Despite access to top-level training, plyometrics, and sprint work, something was missing. Now, after a decade of study and clinical practice, I know exactly why: my fast-twitch muscle development was blunted by poorly-timed endurance training.

Running 5Ks on the same days as jump training. Mixing muscular endurance work with power sessions. The contradiction prevented my speed work from translating into actual speed gains.

I created Youth Speed Fundamentals to give young athletes the framework I didn't have - the one that protects and develops true speed during the critical years between 7-12.

This program works because it teaches proper mechanics while protecting the physiological adaptations that create speed - not sabotaging them with contradictory training.

Your child will learn how sprint technique, jump mechanics, nervous system potentiation, and smart programming work together to unlock their genetic potential for speed.

No wasted effort. No contradictory training. Just the fundamentals that actually make athletes faster.

What Your Child Will Gain from Youth Speed Fundamentals

  • Sprint, Jump & Movement Mechanics That Translate to Every Sport

    • Your child will learn proper sprint technique, jump mechanics, and efficient change of direction through the evidence-based RAMP protocol. These aren't just drills - they're movement patterns that improve performance in soccer, basketball, hockey, track, and any sport requiring speed.

  • Protected Fast-Twitch Muscle Development During Critical Years

    • Ages 7-12 are when athletic foundations are built. Through smart programming that avoids contradictory endurance training, your child's fast-twitch muscle fibers will develop optimally - unlocking their genetic potential for explosive power and speed.

  • Measurable Speed Improvements You Can See and Track

    • No guessing if it's working. Your child will be tested with freeze-frame gate timers at weeks 1, 3, and 6 on the 10-yard dash, 20-yard dash, 40-yard dash, and lateral shuffle. You'll receive results showing real, documented progress.

  • Individual Coaching in a Fun, Growth-Focused Environment

    • Every athlete receives one-on-one attention to ensure proper form and safety. Through speed games, challenges, and a growth mindset approach, your child will learn that winning means improving on their own scores - not competing against others.

  • The Framework to Continue Improving for Years

    • This isn't just seven weeks of training - it's the foundation for lifelong athletic development. Your child will leave with the knowledge, techniques, and training principles to keep getting faster as they grow, avoiding the mistakes that hold most young athletes back.

Here's How It Works: Your 6-Week Speed Development Plan

  1. Secure Your Spot
    Register today and reserve your child's place in the program. Sessions begin April 2nd, 2026 and run every Thursday evening at 3:15 PM. With limited spots available to ensure individual attention, early enrollment is recommended.

  2. Train, Progress, and Build Speed
    Each week, your child will participate in a 90-minute session following the RAMP protocol (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, and Potentiate), Fundamentals of Movement, and Contrast Training to enable Post-activation Potential. Every session builds on the last, progressively increasing in difficulty while cycling through sprint mechanics, jump training, agility work, and power development.

  3. See Measurable Results
    By the end of 6 weeks, your child will move faster, jump higher, and change direction more efficiently than when they started. Final assessments with professional-grade timing will document their improvements across the 10-yard dash, 20-yard dash, 40-yard dash, and lateral shuffle.

More importantly, they'll leave with the mechanical foundation and training knowledge to continue getting faster for years to come - the framework most young athletes never learn.

This isn't about running mindless sprints - it's about deliberate skill development with proper form, individual coaching, and fun challenges that keep kids engaged.

Your child will finally understand how to move fast - and have the tools to keep improving.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if my child can't make it to a session or needs to miss a week?

    • Life happens. While consistent attendance gives the best results, missing one session won't derail progress. However, this is a live, in-person training program - there are no make-up sessions or recordings. Each week builds on the previous one, so we recommend prioritizing attendance when possible.

  • Is this appropriate for kids with no athletic background?

    • Absolutely. This program is designed for young athletes ages 7-12 at any level - from complete beginners to experienced multi-sport athletes. Every child receives individual coaching and modifications based on their current ability. We focus on proper technique and personal improvement, not competition with others.

  • Will this actually make my child faster?

    • Yes. This program uses professional-grade timing equipment to measure progress at weeks 1, 3, and 6. When young athletes learn proper mechanics and train with smart programming that protects fast-twitch development, speed improvements are measurable and consistent. Parents receive assessment results upon request.

  • How is this different from regular sports practice or speed camps?

    • Most programs focus on volume - more sprints, more drills, more conditioning. Youth Speed Fundamentals focuses on mechanics and physiology. We teach proper sprint technique, protect fast-twitch muscle development by avoiding contradictory endurance work, and use evidence-based programming (the RAMP protocol) designed specifically for youth athletes. It's the framework, not just the work.

  • My child plays [name your sport] - will this help?

    • Yes. Sprint mechanics, jump technique, and change of direction skills transfer to every sport that requires speed: soccer, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, football, baseball/softball, track and field, and more. These are foundational athletic skills that improve performance across the board.

  • What if my child is shy or hesitant in group settings?

    • The program emphasizes individual improvement in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Every child gets one-on-one coaching time, and we use fun speed games and challenges to keep kids engaged. The focus is on beating your own scores, not competing against others - which helps even shy kids feel confident and successful.

  • Can I use my extended health benefits for this program?

    • The Youth Speed Fundamentals program itself is not a covered medical service. However, many extended health plans in BC cover naturopathic pediatric consultations. If you're interested in comprehensive health support for your child's athletic development, Dr. Duizer accepts direct billing for many insurance providers. Contact us at office@noblenaturopathic.com to verify your coverage.
