Speed Development
Speed.
Be it allowing you to hit that crash ball with more speed, reaching the football pass just before the defender, or being able to get to the tennis drop shot from the baseline just in time, speed is a vital component of many sports, and can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing
Agility.
Greater agility partnered with greater speed allows you to change direction at pace more effectively. It gives you the ability to make a defender miss, or react to a play quicker. An athlete with great speed and great agility is an opponents worst nightmare!
Technique.
Technique is vital. When you achieve a fluid technique, you will limit injury, hit top speed quickly and maintain this speed using less energy for longer, enabling you to perform throughout your game as your opponents fatigue.
What We Do
At Christian Malcolm Sports Academy, we produce and deliver pure speed based programmes for all sporting individuals and teams globally.
Speed is an important factor in all sports, at all levels. We will teach you how to harness this and deliver it effectively throughout your discipline, whether it is football, rugby, hockey, netball, gymnastics or track & field etc, we can produce and deliver tailored programmes to suit the individual and their sport.
Speed gives you the edge, it gives you time, it gives you control!

The Xtra Yard
The Xtra Yard is a specialised coaching programme for young people designed to improve speed in all competitive sports. It focuses on sprinting technique which enables you to run efficiently, delaying fatigue, preventing injury and is suitable for anyone looking to excel individually or in team sports. As well as athletes, many successful rugby and football players use the programme to gain the important ‘extra yard’ over the competition.
We aim to ensure every child understands the key factors of speed. If they understand it, it is easier for them to create it and deliver it on the pitch, court or track.

What our athletes say
★★★★★
I can highly recommend training with Christian Malcolm and his team. My daughter has just finished completing the 6 week Multi Speed Sports development programme and has thoroughly enjoyed her experience and cannot wait to come back. I have seen a significant improvement in my daughter’s running and especially her technique. Christian and his team of trainers provide a well set out programme with a good structure and covering different running techniques each week. Christian and his team are always very friendly and approachable, and it was lovely watching how they consistently encourage and empower young people each week. Many thanks Christian Malcolm!

My son Tal did the three day half term programme. He absolutely loved it and was excited to go each morning. It was nice to see how enthusiastic and happy he was at the end of each day. The staff were brilliant and I was struck by how friendly and welcoming they all are. From what he’s said, it was challenging but really fun, and he learned a lot. Thank you!
★★★★★
My son loves going here. Great coaches, never a dull moment and sessions all planned out so no waiting around. Worth every penny.
★★★★★
My 14 year old son Jack attended a previous course with Chris and the other superb coaches. There is no doubt that this improved his stamina, speed, technique and ability. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Will certainly be looking to return in April.
★★★★★
Absolutely amazing academy for all ages. My 8 and 16 year olds both love it. They have learned so much and improved immensely since training with Christian and the team.
★★★★★
My daughter Cate has attended the summer camps and thoroughly enjoyed them! She wanted to take it a step further and attend the Extra Yard course! 2 weeks in and she loves it, great atmosphere, great coaches, fun filled fitness training. I definitely recommend it.
★★★★★
Jordan and Lewis ran a pop up session for Hartridge Junior Rugby and they were phenomenal. They engaged the boys and pulled off a brilliant training evening. Would highly recommend to any sports club with a range of mixed abilities to book these guys up for a session. Brilliant!!
★★★★★
Gethin has just completed his 3rd extra yard and I can’t recommend this course enough. The improvement in Gethin’s running style and speed would have been enough to keep me coming back, but the attitude, commitment of the coaches and how they engage with children makes it a must for me. I was so impressed with structure of the course and how much fun my son has we started to participate in the Saturday family sessions from the start of the year, I’m not expecting to become an Olympian but the sessions have become the highlight of my training week.
