Every strength coach nerd loves to bring up “the research.”
They’ll argue about growth plates…
Debate the perfect age to start strength training …
But they miss the point.
Because they don’t actually work with kids…
They’re just looking for clicks and likes.
Kids aren’t ready based on age.
They’re ready based on maturity.
A child is ready when they can listen, stay focused, and follow instructions safely.
That might be age 7…
That might be age 12…
There’s no rush.
Some kids still need to play tag…
Run relay races…
Others might be ready for more structured training.
The most important thing?
Having fun.
That’s the long game.
Because every child is different.
Strength training done right isn’t about heavy weights or improving performance in the short term.
It’s about movement…
Coordination…
Confidence…
And in my experience…
When kids start asking about strength—
That’s your green light.
