04.01.2022 The AWF National Youth and U15 Championships has just occurred, and we had two lifters involved. Alex Mifsud was Victorian team captain and competed in the Yout...h 73kg division. He lifted brilliantly, with 6 out of 6 successful attempts, and PB's on his Snatch (80kg - 4kg PB), C+J (90kg - 2kg PB) and total (170kg - 7kg PB). you can't do better than that. Well done Alex. Tyreese Cruz also lifted brilliantly, with a best Snatch of 88kg (4kg PB), C+J of 114 (1kg PB). Both of these were National U15 records, and so was his total of 202kg (5kg PB). He won the U15 96kg event, and was runners up in the Youth event. He had two very narrow misses with 92 and 114. Brilliant lifting Tyreese. Both our lifters were outstanding representatives for us. Congratulations Alex and Tyreese

01.01.2022 V Strength YOUTH STRENGTH/ SPEED/ ANTHROPOMETRY TESTING PROGRAM V Strength is introducing a strength, speed and anthropometry testing protocol to measure athletic abilities and growth of the youth of Geelong. These are important bio-motor abilities for Weightlifting and general athletic performance. The variables and the changes over time may highlight growth and development needs of each youth and offer direction to training interventions to assist development and improvemen...t in long term health markers throughout growth. Strength and Speed have been linked to athletic performance, injury prevention, bone development and health. The childhood development of strength and speed is recognised as a factor in prevention of many health conditions in later life. Strength is also linked to injury prevention in youth sport. Through this program, we shall develop a comprehensive chronical age related profile of Geelong Youth. Through each school, we are hoping to establish an annual testing process to measure changes throughout youth. We shall offer a report on the overall values, average and peak for each year of birth and month of birth group. At the end of the year, a report will be written that highlights the average of Geelong and where the school sits in relation to the average. The school, sporting club and/or individual shall receive a report on the testing results. This shall give a general indication of the direction of developmental needs for the individual. Whilst this is a useful tool, we are not in position to link this with biological development due to the single reading of the test. The opportunity will be available for individuals to monitor on bi-monthly intervals to include growth rate and biological development over a period of time. Further, the annual change can show rate of growth and development of the individual, and offer longitudinal data for analysis. You will receive a quarterly journal that provides an analysis of the testing results and articles related to youth development. The latest papers on youth development shall be reviewed, and discussions on various topics in youth development, youth performance and youth Weightlifting shall be included. Overtime, we shall deliver a comprehensive analysis of speed and strength norms for all age groups in Geelong, rates of growth, body composition and biological maturation effects on development, activity levels and development, profile of characteristics of the different sports. We are looking to run this program with schools Physical Education classes and youth and childhood sporting clubs. Cost is $40 per individual or $20 per person in groups of 3 or more. The program will start late March, at this age we are seeking expressions of interest in the program from schools, sporting clubs and individuals
