Athletic development that grows confidence on and off the pitch.

High intensity, multi sport conditioning for boys and girls aged 7 to 15, led by Emeel Mati, Leeds United Breakthrough Coach. Whether your child plays football, boxes, runs or just wants to feel stronger, this is where it starts.

Sixty minutes. No standing around.

Every session is different. The work changes, the standard doesn’t.

Sprint & speed mechanics

Form first, top end after. Every athlete leaves quicker than they arrived.

Agility & reaction games

Cones, cues, partner work. Train the brain as hard as the body.

Ball mastery

Coordination work that carries over to whatever sport they play.

Athletic races

Sprints, relays, head to heads. Healthy competition keeps the standard high.

HIIT & conditioning

Including the Matico 7 circuit, designed to push young athletes hard.

Hill sprints & power

Explosive work that builds horsepower without burning kids out.

Team challenges

Competitive blocks that teach communication, leadership and resilience.

Quick answers

Where exactly do you train?

Sessions are held in Leeds, on Monday evenings. The exact venue is shared each week in the WhatsApp group, so we can flex around pitch availability and weather.

Is the first session really free?

Yes. Turn up, train, decide after. No card, no commitment. Just message the WhatsApp group to let us know you’re coming.

My child is a beginner, is this for them?

Absolutely. Sessions are built for all abilities, ages 7 to 15. The standard rises with the room, and beginners feel the difference quickly.

Do you take card or only cash?

Cash on the night, please. £10 for one, £15 for two siblings. We’re keeping it simple at this stage.

What should they bring?

Astro turf trainers or boots, a water bottle, and weather-appropriate kit. Official Matico Athletes Club training kit is coming soon.

This Monday. 7pm. Leeds.

Bring your child to one session. Watch them leave a little taller, a little fitter, and asking when they can come back.
