Youth Balance Training Guide | Build Coordination, Confidence & Injury Prevention for Kids & Teens
Help Your Child Move with Confidence — Starting Today
Does your child frequently trip? Struggle to keep up in sports? Seem a little less coordinated than their peers?
You're not imagining it — and you're not alone. Balance is the single most overlooked skill in youth fitness, yet it's the foundation for everything your child does physically. The good news? Balance can be trained, and it doesn't take expensive equipment or hours at the gym.
What This Guide Is
The Youth Balance Training Guide is a complete, progressive balance training program designed specifically for young people ages 6–18. Created by Rebecca "Ri" McGhee — an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer with 13+ years of experience — this guide takes your child from wherever they are right now to moving with strength, control, and confidence.
This is a structured, professionally designed program built on the same principles Ri uses with her in-person clients — now available as an instant-download digital guide you can use at home.
What's Inside
-Assessment Tools That Meet Your Child Where They Are: Two built-in assessments — one for parents to observe, one for kids to take themselves — so you know exactly where to start. No guessing. No wasted time on exercises that are too easy or too hard.
-15 Progressive Balance Exercises Organized by Age & Ability
-12-Week Progressive Training Tracker: A printable, week-by-week program with daily checkboxes, weekly reflections, and clear progression cues. Takes the guesswork out of "what do we do next?"
-Safety Guidelines & Tips for Success: Age-appropriate supervision guidance, when-to-progress indicators, and practical tips for making balance training feel like play — not a chore.
Why This Program Works
Most youth fitness resources throw a bunch of exercises at kids with no structure. This guide is different because it's progressive — each exercise builds on the last, and the built-in assessments ensure your child starts at the right level. The 12-week tracker makes progress visible, which will keep kids motivated.
