These sessions are coached by me personally, Rick Gannon: elite-level Strength & Conditioning Coach, expert Personal Trainer and Advanced Sports Nutrition Advisor, with 25 years of delivering results.

Your young athlete won’t be following a generic workout. Every session is built around them — their sport, their goals and what they need to develop. We’ll work on the strength, speed, agility and confidence they can take into competition.

Training takes place at the state-of-the-art Athletes Collective Gym, a facility chosen by professional athletes.

Friday Night Under The Lights 🏉💡
The pre-pre-season starts now.

The season may be almost finished, but the athletes who will fly when it comes back are already putting the work in.

While some players down tools, lose momentum and wait for team pre-season to begin, our Friday Night athletes are training smart, building strength, improving movement and creating a genuine edge over the opposition.

This is not random exercise or guesswork.

At Friday Night Under The Lights, every athlete is assessed and their key performance stats are tracked—so we know exactly where they are starting and can make sure they keep progressing. Strength, power, speed, agility, movement quality: everything has a purpose.

The aim is simple: when the new season arrives, your young player is not trying to get fit—they are ready to perform.

✅ Development-appropriate strength & conditioning
✅ Speed, agility and power training
✅ Individual assessment and measurable progress
✅ Small-group coaching at Athletes Collective
✅ Built specifically for youth rugby league players

The work done now can make all the difference next season.

Monday Night Youth Strength & Power 💥
If you want your child to build a genuine physical edge over the competition, it starts with doing the right work, the right way.

Our Youth Strength & Power Group runs every Monday from 6:00pm–7:00pm at Athletes Collective, Milnsbridge.

We specialise in youth strength and conditioning. Training young athletes is not about copying an adult bodybuilder workout or throwing heavy weights around—it requires expert coaching tailored specifically to their biological age, movement competency, and stage of development.

Here is how we deliver real results:

📊 We Assess, Never Guess: Every athlete goes through structured movement screens and testing. We measure baseline numbers, track progress, and programme with precision so every exercise has a purpose.
🎯 Age & Developmentally Appropriate: We build rock-solid movement patterns first—squatting, hinging, jumping, and landing—before layering on power and resistance safely.
⚡ Proven Athletic Transfer: Over the summer alone, some of our young athletes have more than doubled their strength, showing up faster, more robust, and significantly more confident when stepping into contact and competition.
🛡️ Injury Prevention & Resilience: Proper youth conditioning doesn't just make them stronger on game day; it strengthens tendons, joints, and movement mechanics to keep them playing injury-free.
Whether your child is preparing for representative pathways or looking to dominate at grassroots level, this group gives them the professional environment they need to excel.

📍 Where: Athletes Collective, Milnsbridge
⏰ When: Mondays | 6:00pm – 7:00pm
👥 Who: Dedicated youth athletes looking to build real strength and power

Spaces are capped to ensure every athlete receives close coaching and technique feedback throughout the session.

Friday Night Under The Lights 🏉💡
While most are on the sofa winding down for the weekend, the most dedicated young athletes are putting in the work.

Championships, selections, and match-winning moments aren’t handed out on game day. They are earned on cold Friday nights when no one else is watching. While the competition relaxes at home, our athletes are in the gym building the strength, speed, and mental edge that will show up when it matters most on the weekend.

Our Friday Night Under The Lights class at Athletes Collective, Milnsbridge is designed specifically for grassroots youth rugby league players who are serious about leveling up their game.

Led by Rick Gannon, bringing over 20 years of experience in elite sport and athletic development, every session focuses on:

⚡ Speed, Agility & Quickness: Exploding out of contact, sharp changes of direction, and first-step acceleration.
💪 Functional Strength: Age-appropriate strength training that transfers directly onto the rugby pitch.
🛡️ Injury Resilience: Conditioning young bodies to handle the high impact and physical demands of rugby league.
🎯 Weekend Match Preparation: Priming the nervous system so players run out on game day sharp, confident, and firing on all cylinders.
If your young player wants to stand out from the crowd and gain a genuine physical advantage before stepping across the whitewash, this is where it starts.

📍 Location: Athletes Collective, Milnsbridge
🏉 Who it’s for: Grassroots youth rugby league athletes

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure high-quality coaching and attention for every athlete.

Why Do Some Youth Athletes Get Stronger Mid-Season While Others Burn Out?
As the season grinds on, a clear divide begins to appear on pitches across the region.
At many community clubs, you see the familiar pattern: young players who started the year full of energy are suddenly slowing down, picking up recurring soft-tissue injuries, and losing their competitive edge in the final twenty minutes. Meanwhile, the youth athletes training with us at Athletes Collective are doing the exact opposite. They are getting faster, lifting heavier, bouncing back quicker, and peaking when matches matter most.
The difference isn’t genetics, and it certainly isn't simply "working harder." The difference is working smarter.
Too many young athletes are trapped in a cycle of random, generic fitness drills and exhaustion-based sessions that pile fatigue on top of an already heavy match and training schedule. That approach doesn’t build robust athletes; it breaks them down. At Athletes Collective, we strip away the guesswork entirely. Every session is designed, monitored, and progressed around the specific physiological demands of the game and the individual athlete in front of us.
Training with elite-level coaches means every movement serves a distinct purpose. Our coaches understand long-term athletic development, sprint mechanics, force production, and how to balance training load so players adapt rather than break. We don't guess what weight an athlete should lift or how much running volume they need; we measure it.
That process begins with our comprehensive Testing Packages. By establishing an objective baseline across sprint velocity, explosive power, change of direction, and strength metrics, we identify exactly what each player needs to work on. It removes the mystery from their physical development and provides a clear, data-driven roadmap to genuine on-field performance.
If your young athlete is already training with us and seeing the benefits, imagine the collective impact on match day if their teammates joined them. Bringing teammates along to experience our testing packages and structured coaching environment elevates the standard of the entire squad, building collective resilience, speed, and durability.
Stop guessing your physical development. Step into an elite environment and discover what smart, structured athletic preparation really feels like.
Ready to see where you stand? Message Athletes Collective today to book your squad or individual testing package.

🏋️‍♂️ In season is not the time to stop training.

One of the most common excuses I hear is:
"I'm too sore to get to the gym."

The reality is that the right training can actually help reduce soreness and improve recovery. If you're still feeling beaten up by the middle of the week, it's worth taking a closer look at your recovery habits—sleep, nutrition, hydration, and mobility all matter.

You can’t afford to lose strength and power mid-season. When those levels drop, performance follows, and your injury risk significantly increases.

At Athletes Collective, we specialise in Rugby League in-season training. We understand the specific demands of the game and offer bespoke training packages for both teams and individual players to keep you peak-ready for every match.

Stay consistent. Train smart. Perform better.
