Youth Sports Performance
Training in Pelham

Athletes Acceleration Pelham trains young athletes across Shelby County—from Pelham and Alabaster to Helena, Chelsea, and Calera. Our CSCS-certified coaches develop speed, strength, and power through velocity-based training, structured periodization, and electronic timing systems. With Oak Mountain State Park and the Pelham Civic Complex anchoring one of the most active youth sports communities south of Birmingham, Pelham athletes compete in a region that takes athletics seriously—and our newly opened program is built to match that standard.

Our facility at 211 Applegate Trace is equipped with professional-grade turf, a complete strength training floor with free weights and racks, plyometric platforms, and velocity tracking technology. Sessions follow concurrent periodization—speed and acceleration work on the turf, barbell progressions in the weight room, and power development through plyometrics and ballistic movements. Our 8:1 athlete-to-coach ratio ensures every rep is coached with precision, whether the athlete is a Pelham Panther, a Helena Husky, or an Oak Mountain Eagle.

Every new athlete at our Pelham location begins with an athletic assessment—sprint testing with electronic timing, vertical jump measurement, and a movement evaluation. We use these baselines to build a training plan tailored to each athlete’s sport, position, and developmental stage—from soccer and baseball players to football, basketball, and track athletes across the I-65 corridor. Progress is tracked through consistent retesting so athletes and families can see measurable improvement.
