What is Mini MAD?
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.
Why Mini MAD?
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 we focus on:
Mini MAD is all about broad-spectrum athleticism. Each session targets the key pillars of physical development in a fun, engaging format:
Balance & body control
Mobility & joint health
Stability & motor control
Strength foundations (bodyweight focus)
Power through jumping & throwing
Speed & coordination
Agility & reactive movement
Endurance & aerobic play
Focus & listening skills
Teamwork & communication
