Sports Performance Training for Youth Athletes

In our last newsletter we shared with you the story of how Zane Kelly founded Athletes In Motion. His first year training professional baseball players was exciting, not only because he was able to combine his two passions - baseball and strength & conditioning - but also because he was getting great feedback which confirmed he was doing the right thing.

But professional athletes weren't the only ones seeking Zane's training expertise. During this time, Zane was working out of Sunset Athletic Club and came across dozens of youth athletes that had the same drive to succeed in the sport they loved to play.

In 2008, Zane created a new program called the AIM Class, which targeted youth athletes. Between the ages of 8 and 14, kids are starting to become more competitive and serious about excelling in sports. They are also battling their own bodies, which are constantly changing and growing. Zane recognized that this age group had unique challenges and required a special type of program.



The AIM Class works on overall athleticism and skill. The program is designed to maximize physical ability while minimizing risk of injury. In the AIM Class, kids work to develop proper running techniques, athletic coordination, balance, relative strength, and muscular movement patterns.

As kids get a little older, the focus shifts from learning basic athletic skills to perfecting these skills. Repeated practice leads to permanent and positive changes and mastering these skills creates a better athlete.

Whether it's professional athletes wanting to improve and extend their career, collegiate players looking to become pro's, high schoolers with their sights set on a D1 scholarship, or youth athletes who are still honing their skills and developing... the theme is clear. Dedicated, driven, and hard-working athletes seek out and train with Athletes In Motion because they know hard work pays off and Zane's programs deliver what they are looking for.

What We Do

Athletes In Motion provides sports performance training to athletes of all levels. It is essential for every athlete to supplement their team or sport practice with a quality training program. Practice helps you hone your skills and a training program builds a bigger, faster, stronger you. This equates to not only being able to make contact with the ball, but hitting the ball with so much force, you knock it out of the park!

Starting at age 8, athletes can join the AIM Class which is offered in Beaverton, Portland and Clackamas. This class works to improve the athlete's Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness (SPARQ).

Athletes In Motion also offers group Strength & Conditioning sessions at various times with various trainers. Athletes receive a personalized program built specifically for their goals and are trained in a group setting in order to promote accountability and levels of success.

Each winter, Athletes In Motion trains more professional baseball players than anywhere else in the Northwest. The same methodology and intensity is offered to dedicated High School athletes in our Winter Conditioning program.

In the Fall and Summer, AIM hosts 18U and 19U Wood Bat Baseball teams. The athletes that participate on these teams are dedicated to working hard and playing at the next level - collegiate and pro! Our 19U Summer team preps the players for playing in college by traveling to play the top teams, being exposed to college coaches and scouts and visiting schools along the way.

Strength & Conditioning is incorportated into every AIM program. If interested in hitting or pitching lessons, we can connect you with a quality instructor. While these are not directly offered by AIM, we have several scouts and pro players that use our facility for this purpose.

Athletes In Motion swings exclusively wood bats.
