Three programs,
built by grade.

Organized by where an athlete is in school rather than what sport they play. The class stays consistent. What changes is the training — the athlete's age, their sport, their competitive season, and what their body needs right now.

How it works

Athletes from every sport train together

Football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, girls flag football, lacrosse and track all train in the same room. What changes between them is exercise selection, volume, intensity and conditioning. Every session is coached by Carl Bradford — not a rotating staff — and every group is capped at 16 athletes.

2–5Grade band 01

Speed & Movement

Most kids this age are playing sports before anyone has taught them how to move. This hour fixes that.

One hour on the fundamentals every sport is built on: sprint mechanics, changing direction, balance, coordination, body control, and landing safely. Every athlete in this group runs the same session. No sport-specific work, no heavy loading, no early specialization.

The goal at this age is a broad athletic base — and a kid who leaves feeling more capable than when they walked in.

6–8Grade band 02

Performance

Middle school is where athletes either build a foundation or build habits they'll spend high school undoing.

A dedicated training hour for 6th through 8th graders, focused on teaching correct movement under load before anyone worries about how much load. Athletes work through the same session as a group, with volume and intensity scaled to the individual.

We cap this age group at three sessions a week, on purpose. Athletes in 6th through 8th grade are in their fastest growth years, and most are already practicing three to five days a week for a school or club team. A fourth structured session isn't development at that point — it's accumulation, and it's how young athletes end up with the overuse injuries that follow them into high school.

9–12Grade band 03

Elite

An in-season football player should not train like an off-season basketball player. Most gyms say that. Elite is built around it.

High school athletes from every sport train in the same 75-minute block. What changes between them is exercise selection, volume, intensity and conditioning — driven by whether they're in-season, preseason or off-season.

Your training days are assigned around when you compete. When your season changes, your days and your programming change with it. That isn't a scheduling convenience — it's the program. We're here to complement what your school and club coaches are already doing, not to pile a second team workout on top of it.

By sport

What changes for your athlete's sport

The group is decided by grade. What happens inside it is decided by the sport your athlete plays and where they are in its season. Each of these explains what that actually means — the demands, the season calendar, and the position work.

Football
Skill · Big

Position-split programming, a dedicated summer peaking block, and the sport Carl played at Arizona State and in the NFL.

Football training →

Baseball & Softball
Arm · Field

The deepest program we run, built around arm care and the fact that travel ball leaves almost no off-season to build in.

Baseball & softball →

Basketball
Jump · Land · Repeat

Single-leg strength, deceleration and landing mechanics across the longest in-season stretch of any sport here.

Basketball training →

Soccer
Outfield · Keeper

Hamstring and adductor work as standing items, plus the honest conversation about how much running an athlete already does.

Soccer training →

Volleyball
Approach · Shoulder

Landing tolerance and shoulder durability, programmed separately for the girls' fall season and the boys' spring one.

Volleyball training →

Everything else
Nine more sports

Wrestling, track and field, cross country, swim, water polo, lacrosse, golf and tennis are all programmed too — they just don't have a page yet. Ask.

The method

Training days assigned around when you compete

In-season
Friday night athlete

Trains early in the week on a maintenance and recovery emphasis, built to keep them fresh through their game week.

Off-season
Development block

Tuesday and Thursday — the heavy days. This is where strength, speed and power actually get built.

Preseason
Transition

Volume comes down, intensity and sport-specific conditioning come up as competition approaches.

Common questions

Before you sign up

My athlete only plays one sport. Is this still right?

Yes. Athletes from every sport train together, and the programming is adjusted per athlete. Below high school we deliberately avoid sport-specific work — the research on early specialization is not kind to it, and a broad athletic base transfers to everything. From 9th grade on, exercise selection and conditioning are driven by your sport and your season.

Can we train more than the listed frequency?

In Elite, yes — there's an unlimited option. In Performance, no, and that's deliberate. Three structured sessions is the cap for 6th–8th graders because most are already practicing three to five days a week with a school or club team.

What if my athlete has never lifted before?

That's the normal starting point here, not the exception. Correct movement under load comes first; how much load comes much later. Every session is scaled to the individual inside a group setting.

Is there a contract?

Memberships are monthly. Come try a free session first — we'll assess your athlete, talk through their sport and season, and tell you honestly which program fits, including if that's none of them.

How big are the groups?

Every membership session is capped at 16 athletes and Carl coaches all of them personally.

Beyond the group hour

Three other ways to train here

One athlete
Private training

One-on-one or two-on-one, $75 an hour — or a package: 4, 8 or 12 sessions from $260 ($200 each for two-on-one). For a specific problem the group hour can't solve — a position, a weakness, a camp date, a return from injury.

Private training →

Whole roster
Team training

Strength, speed and conditioning for club and high school teams — at your field or ours, built around your competition calendar.

Team training →

At home
The Bradford Method

A ten-week baseball program for ages 7–10 that you run yourself, in a backyard or a park. For families too far to drive here, or who would rather coach their own. $97.
