A youth strength, speed and athletic development program for ages 6–18. We bring the Husker Power tradition — building athletes from the ground up, and measuring their progress — to Nebraska's young athletes.

Boys and girls ages 6–18, in any sport and at any experience level. Athletes who haven't picked a sport yet are welcome too — general athleticism helps in every sport.

Foundations (ages 6–9): running, jumping, landing, balance and coordination, taught through games and play.

Development (ages 10–14): speed, agility and lifting technique, matched to how each child is growing.

Performance (ages 15–18): strength, power, speed and durability for high school athletes.

You choose the group for your child. Please place them based on how much training experience they have — the ages shown are typical ranges for each group. After our coaches evaluate your child, they may be moved to a more advanced group.

Yes. Everyone starts with movement basics and bodyweight skills. Weights are added only when an athlete shows good technique, and the load always stays appropriate for their age and level.

They'll be introduced to weight training, but there's no heavy lifting. Foundations is about learning to move well — skipping, jumping, crawling, throwing, balance — plus light tools like medicine balls, kettlebells and dumbbells.

No — the program is general strength training. We build the athlete — speed, strength, coordination, resilience — so they're better at whatever sport they play.

Husker Power coaches — the same coaches who have won national championships and conference championships, produced numerous All-Americans, and developed athletes over 4–5 year college careers. Camp director Jon Pfeifer leads the staff. Every Husker Power coach is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and is CPR/AED certified.

1 coach for every 8 athletes, with 3 coaches on the floor at all times.

Dynamic warm-up → movement skill work → speed and agility → strength block → cool-down and recap. Foundations sessions are 45 minutes; Development and Performance are 60 minutes.

Every athlete is tested at the start and end of each 8-week camp — in the spirit of the Husker Power Performance Index. We also monitor progress throughout camp to make sure we're seeing improvement week to week, and we use the CoachBuilt app to help athletes see their progress.
