An athlete's own words
What changes when the training has a why.
Jackson Alcock, VAD · Member since 2021. Every story on our results page is a real member, named.
More member results“The biggest thing about my training that has changed is probably my knowledge around it. It exposed me to the why behind training, why you're doing exercise, for what purpose, how it relates to the sport that you want to train for and almost outside of life too.”
Performance testing
Measure the starting point. Compare the retest.
Force-plate testing, strength benchmarks, speed and power profiling. Testing at the start and end of a 13-week season lets you compare the agreed measures and helps shape the next block.
Movement screens from $69, performance profiles from $199. Team and club testing available through our partnerships program.

The honest answers
What athletes and parents ask first.
Sport, season, cost and testing, answered with the actual numbers.
Is the programming actually specific to my sport?
Yes. Every VAD membership is written around your sport, your position and where you sit in the season, not a template with your name on it. We coach basketball, football, netball, soccer, cricket, tennis, track and field, swimming, golf, surfing, MMA, karate, motocross, MTB, gymnastics, dance and Ironman athletes on the same floor, and the program each of them gets looks different.
I train and play four days a week already. Will this just add load?
No. We ask what your week actually looks like first, then program around your training and game load so the strength work makes you more durable instead of more tired. In a heavy week that can mean one session instead of three, and your coach dials the plan back rather than piling it on.
What changes in-season compared with pre-season?
The training block does. Pre-season is where we build strength, power and capacity, tested at the start and end of every 13-week season. In-season we aim to maintain key qualities while managing training load around competition. Same coach, same plan, different dial.
What does athletic development cost?
VAD runs from $97 a week for two sessions and $120 a week unlimited, and PLUS can be added to any Unlimited membership for $25 a week. Everyone starts with one-on-one onboarding first, $599 for the standard five sessions. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
How do you measure whether it is working?
With numbers, not vibes. We test on VALD force plates and against strength, speed and jump benchmarks at the start and end of every 13-week season. A movement screen is $69 and a full performance profile is $199, and the results drive what your next block actually looks like.
Do you do nutrition and physio as well?
Nutrition, yes: Fuel in the app for every member and a one-off consult with a coach for $135 from 1 October 2026. Physio, osteo and psychology are independent practices at our address, booked directly with them, and your coach adjusts training around their guidance. The nutrition page has the detail.
Can you work with my club or school team?
Yes. Team testing runs from about $50 an athlete, which is $499 for a squad of 10, and ongoing club programs start at $150 a week plus GST with school programs from $200 a week plus GST. We deliver at your club or here at Torca Terrace, whichever works for your season.
