Frequently asked questions

STRYDE is a youth athletic-development programme for ages 7–12. We use Track & Field, Strength & Conditioning, Sport Climbing, Judo and Basketball as different environments in which specialist coaches can observe and develop the physical qualities beneath sport.

A regular class usually focuses on learning one sport. STRYDE looks across qualities such as strength, running mechanics, coordination, balance, spatial awareness and movement control.

Your child still trains within a real discipline. The wider purpose is to develop the physical qualities beneath sport. Parents also receive specific coach observations rather than attendance alone.

Each one asks something different of the child. Track makes running mechanics and rhythm easier to see. Strength & Conditioning focuses on strength, trunk control and balance. Climbing challenges grip, body positioning and planning. Judo uses balance, footwork and controlled partner movement. Basketball develops coordination, spatial awareness and changes of direction.

Your child does not need to attend all five. Football and tennis are valuable sports too. STRYDE's five disciplines give coaches different views of the physical qualities beneath sport.

STRYDE uses coached practice across different movement environments. Each discipline gives a specialist coach a way to observe what a child can do now and what may be worth practising next.

The first trial is a starting point, not proof of a fixed future result. Coaches continue observing as a child trains.

No previous sports experience is needed for Multi-Sport. Coaches begin with what the child can do now and adjust the challenge within the session.

Specialist Edge is for children who already train regularly in a primary sport.

Yes. Children do not need to be competitive or already good at sport to start. Our coaches work from the child's current ability and adjust the challenge within the session.

We cannot promise how any child will feel or respond, but we can provide a purposeful session, clear coaching and specific feedback afterwards.

The standard programme is for ages 7–12 by calendar year. A child who turns seven during the year of attendance is eligible.

No. Eleven is within the programme age range. You can book an available assessment trial yourself or ask us which discipline may be most useful.

Specialist Edge may suit this situation. Share their school, club, private and competition training with us. The coach will consider where running, strength or movement work may support the primary sport, and whether the child's week has room for it.

Possibly. We first consider the child's current training, goals and available time before recommending whether STRYDE can add useful physical preparation. Swimming, athletics or gymnastics may be a child's main sport; swimming is not a STRYDE discipline.

It does not have to. We need to see the complete week before recommending a plan. Sometimes an additional STRYDE session is useful; sometimes the better decision is to keep the week lighter.

If you would like help choosing the first discipline, we ask about your child's sport experience, interests, current training, goals and availability. You can also book an available trial yourself.

After the coach observes your child, we discuss a suitable mix based on the assessment, what the child is willing to try and what the family can manage.

Yes. Families can share their preferences, goals and practical constraints. Our coaches can then recommend a training mix based on the child's current sport, what they observe and the live timetable.

The plan is flexible rather than a compulsory rotation, but every booking still depends on current session availability.

No. Each class is a session in one discipline. An ongoing programme combines selected classes across the week. The mix is recommended for the child and can change over time.

The exact content depends on the discipline. A session usually includes a relevant warm-up, coached skill or movement work, applied drills or challenges and a short review.

The coach demonstrates, observes and adjusts the task or cue while the children practise.

Group size depends on the discipline and the current booking. Ask us to confirm the class size for the session you are considering. Coaches give individual cues while children train within the group.

The first assessment trial is free. It includes one two-hour group session with a specialist coach and a written assessment within 48 hours.

The Starter Pack costs $295 per child. It includes four coached sessions across available disciplines, 60 days to use them and flexibility to experience different training environments. After the programme, you receive a report outlining strengths, areas to improve and next priorities. There is no monthly lock-in.

Multi-Sport and Specialist Edge use the same fees at the same weekly frequency. Foundation starts at $580 per month for two sessions a week. Higher-frequency tiers are listed on the pricing page.

Multi-Sport has a three-month minimum commitment.

The pricing table shows the weekly frequency and the benefits included in each Multi-Sport tier. Multi-Sport and Specialist Edge share the same fees at the same frequency, but the listed Multi-Sport benefits do not automatically apply to Specialist Edge. We confirm the Specialist Edge plan and its feedback arrangements after assessment.

No. Frequency should reflect the child's current sport, total training load, recovery, coach observations, school commitments and family schedule. More sessions are only useful when the child can absorb and benefit from them.

Contact STRYDE as early as possible. Any make-up option depends on the booking terms, live timetable and space in another suitable session, so it cannot be guaranteed.

Each discipline is led by a specialist. The current team includes Lim Yao Peng for Track & Field, Eunice Tan for Sport Climbing, Azfar Ali for Judo, Eldrin Tor for Basketball, and Liza Sem and Joshua Tai for Strength & Conditioning. Their current profiles and credentials are on the Coaches page.

No previous martial arts experience is required. Tell us about your child's experience and any concerns before the session so the coach can explain what the group will practise and whether that session is suitable.

The coach will stop or adjust the activity and contact the parent or guardian when needed. Ask us for the current insurance terms for the session before booking; we will not assume that the same coverage applies to every programme or venue.

Classes run on different days at discipline-specific venues in Singapore. The schedule page shows the weekly pattern. ClassCard shows the live bookable dates.

Always check the confirmed session and venue before travelling.

Transport arrangements can change. Ask us about the current options when confirming your child's sessions. If your family is making its own way, use the confirmed venue details for each booking.

The live timetable shows the sessions running around school holidays and public holidays. If a booked session changes, we will share the applicable update and next step.

Clothing, footwear and equipment vary by discipline and venue. We send the relevant guidance after the session is confirmed.

Viewing arrangements depend on the venue.

Strength & Conditioning at Impact Performance is drop-off only because the gym has limited space and parents cannot remain inside the training area. At other venues, parents may use the designated viewing area where one is available and should remain off the training floor unless a coach asks otherwise.

We will confirm the arrangement for your child's session before they attend.

Please share any injury, medical condition, medication, rehabilitation plan or other concern before your child takes part. This allows the team to review whether the session is suitable and what adjustments may be needed.

STRYDE uses ClassCard for bookings and schedules. Once a session is confirmed, we send the relevant booking details.

You receive a written assessment within 48 hours of the trial. Multi-Sport monthly tiers include the progress update or parent debrief listed on the pricing page. We confirm feedback arrangements separately for Specialist Edge.

Progress is considered against the child's own starting point, not only against other children.

The trial gives a first set of coach observations, but there is no fixed timeline for athletic development. During regular training, coaches look for changes in how the child moves, learns and handles the session's demands. Progress is considered against the child's own starting point.

Coaches continue observing during regular sessions. We can make smaller adjustments month to month and hold a wider review around three months when useful.

Goals, school commitments, sport seasons and the child's interests may all change the plan.

Any training takes time, so the plan needs to fit the rest of your child's week. Start with a frequency your family can sustain alongside school, existing sport, rest and other commitments.

Tell us what the week already looks like and we can help you consider a realistic option.

STRYDE's current programme is designed for ages 7–12. As a child approaches the end of the age range, the family can discuss their current sport, goals and suitable next step with the coaching team.

Group programme prices are the same per child, and there is no sibling discount. We can help families look for sessions that fit a shared schedule.

No. STRYDE provides youth athletic-development training. Schools make their own selection decisions, and taking part does not guarantee a DSA place.

If DSA is your goal, tell us the sport and timeline. We can explain which parts of STRYDE may be relevant alongside sport-specific preparation.

Availability depends on the discipline, day and session. Check the current bookable dates or ask us to confirm a suitable option. We will not claim a place is available until the booking is confirmed.

Book an available trial online, or speak with us first. If you would like a recommendation, we ask about your child's sport experience, interests, current training, goals and availability before suggesting a discipline.
