D1 Training Burlington offers multi-week team programs focused on the traits that show up on the field, court, rink, or diamond

  • Speed and first-step quickness

  • Agility and change of direction

  • Acceleration and deceleration control

  • Mobility and stability

  • Safe strength training that supports performance and injury reduction

Our programs are built for youth athletes and coached the right way: athletic, progressive, and measurable

How The Program Works

Performance Testing

Every team program begins with a baseline assessment so athletes and parents can see real, measurable progress.

Examples of what we may test (sport dependent):

* 10-yard and 20-yard speed

* Pro agility / shuttle

* Vertical or broad jump

* Movement quality basics (mobility, stability, coordination)

Progressive Training Plan

Training focuses on speed mechanics, agility, plyometrics, and a progressive introduction to resistance training.

We start with foundational movement patterns first:

* Core integration

* Stability and joint control

* Mobility through active range of motion

* Light loading when appropriate

Retest and Results

We retest near the end of the program so you can see improvements in numbers, movement, and confidence.

Safety and Strength Training

Strength training is safe when done correctly. For younger athletes, we start with bodyweight movements and training bars to build:

  • Proper form

  • Stability and control

  • Confidence under supervision

Once athletes demonstrate mastery, we gradually increase load in a safe, coached environment. This approach supports performance and helps reduce injury risk.

Who It Is For

Team Training Is Ideal For:

Youth teams (in-season or offseason)

Travel programs

Middle school and high school teams

Small groups (4–12 athletes)

Captains-led “training pods”

Why choose D1 Training Burlington for performance training?

D1 Training Burlington has been named the #1 rated gym for two consecutive years. Our coaches specialize in athletic-based training and structured youth performance development.

What is the D1 Training methodology?

D1 Training Burlington's methodology is centered on the idea that athletes should be engaging in year-round strength, speed/agility, and plyometric (jump) training to promote continued performance gains, injury prevention effects, and aid in long-term athletic development (LTAD). Only with long-term consistency, do we see measurable and meaningful changes in performance and injury prevention effects. This is why we believe, and research supports, it’s in every athlete’s best interest to engage in performance training in the pre-season, in-season, and off-season.

What does In-Season Training look like?

Our In-Season Programming is centered on maintaining or slightly enhancing performance and providing the minimum effective dose of training for athletes to ensure reductions in injury rates. This usually takes the form of 30-minute sessions consisting of strength, speed/agility, and plyometric training performed 1-2x/week on-field throughout the week. We always urge every athlete to perform these exercises more than 1x/week, but we understand competing training demands, and doing something is always better than doing nothing. Our programming is based on well-researched protocols to effectively reduce injuries and increase performance as well as factoring in each coach’s expertise and the athletes’ preferences and training demands.

What does Off-season Training look like?

D1 Training's Off-Season Programming is centered on enhancing performance and preparing each athlete to tolerate the demands of their sport season by optimizing the quantity and quality of training. This usually takes the form of 1-hour sessions performed 2-3x/week consisting of strength, speed/agility, speed endurance, and plyometric training. Our off-season programming emphasizes full-body progressive strength training, speed/agility development including an emphasis on cutting, acceleration/deceleration, and top-end speed technique, and building competency with multidirectional plyometrics.
