Mini MAD Info

Mini MAD (Momentum Athletic Development) is the entry-level athletic development program designed to build confident, capable young athletes aged 8–12 years. Delivered by the trusted team at Momentum Sports Performance Centre, Mini MAD lays the foundation for long-term athletic success through fun, challenging, and age-appropriate training.
This is not a watered-down version of MAD - it’s a movement-focused program tailored specifically for developing bodies and growing minds.
The Program builds Foundations for Future Athletes.
Early exposure to structured, well-coached movement improves:
- Motor competency
- Body awareness
- Coordination
- Confidence in movement
- Positive association with physical activity
By nurturing these skills early, athletes are better prepared for the demands of sport, play, and life - now and into their teenage years.

What Parents Are Saying

“The focus on technique and getting the basics right has built a strong foundation and given our son real confidence in how he moves and trains. We’ve seen clear improvements in his strength, speed, agility and stamina, but also in his attitude, consistency and willingness to have a go”

“We started for general development, but the biggest change has been in sport - speed, agility, and confidence have all improved. Starting with a free trial was great, as we got to see what it was all about before joining.”

“Since doing Mini MAD, our son has improved strength, speed and agility, along with posture and confidence. The coaching and programming have taught him correct technique, guiding him and pushing him in the right ways.”
