According to the Long Term Athletic Development Model (LTAD), the above list is the physical attributes to focus on between the ages of 8 and 12. The foundational years of training (training age: 0-2 years).

In alphabetical order, they look like this: 

  1. Energy System Training
  2. Flexibility
  3. Fundamental Movement Skills
  4. Mobility
  5. Power
  6. Speed
  7. Sport Specific Movement Skills

With a competitive bias they might look like this:

  1. Sport Specific Movement Skills
  2. Speed
  3. Power
  4. Energy System Training
  5. Mobility
  6. Flexibility
  7. Fundamental Movement Skills
