Strength, for everyone
We introduce powerlifting to Richardson teens ages 12 to 18. Each athlete gets their own volunteer coach, who writes their program and trains with them one-on-one all season.

How the program works
One program, built around one relationship: an athlete and their coach.
Step 1
A parent or guardian signs up
Fill out a short form with your contact info. We'll call you to answer questions and get your teen ready.
Step 2
We match your teen with a coach
Every athlete gets their own volunteer coach. Same coach, every session, all season.
Step 3
Their coach writes the program
Squat, bench and deadlift, planned around your teen's age, experience and goals, plus simple nutrition guidance.
Step 4
They train together on weekends
Twelve weeks of Saturday and Sunday mornings at POD, learning to lift safely and getting stronger week by week.

In their words
“Working out feels good, and so does seeing my PRs go up!”
