I would rate this book and dvd higher if I could! I purchased it to help my 10 year old son develop better strength, speed and agility for football season. He plays center and nose tackle and is a little over 5 feet tall and about 125 lbs. Last year (his first playing tackle football), he didn't have great movement and didn't make many tackles. After going through this program in 6 weeks, he took almost a full second off his 25 yard dash time, added 8 inches to his standing broad jump and 3 inches to his vertical leap.
The system consists of 3 progressive levels of 15 exercises each: bronze, silver and gold. Any child could comfortably start with the bronze level and move on to silver in 2 or 3 weeks. The authors recommend 2 sessions per week with adequate rest between sessions. Each session took us between 30 minutes and an hour to complete, depending on the number of sets used for each exercise. The exercises are thoroughly explained in the book, but you also get the added bonus of the dvd which clearly demonstrates each exercise. My son and I both had fun with the program and will use it again for off season training.

This is definitely the best source of plyometric exercises to do with kids. Written by the top experts in the field, no other book is as thorough and visual as this one. If you work with kids in any setting Progressive Plyometrics for Kids is definitely the tool you need for a successful program

The information is well presented and easy to understand. I have been able to incorporate a great deal of information into the workouts all ready.

I have been teaching children's fitness for over 10 years and have read a lot of books relating to children's fitness programs. This has been the easiest to understand and implement. I highly recommend this book to anyone new to teaching kids and to those who want new ideas.

If you work with kids, you'll easily be able to incorporate plyometrics into the routines with this easy-to-use guide.

I've started using this book and dvd for training my kids. They enjoy it and it does a great job explaining and demonstrating the exercises.

Ik ben lang bezig geweest met het opzetten van een plyometric program voor kinderen rond de groei. Tot ik dit programma tegen kwam. De opzet en de duidelijkheid is verbluffend en de kinderen doen het graag.
De ondersteuning met de DVD is helder. Zeker voor kinderen voor de groei en net na de groei spurt is dit een aanrader.
