How old is he? My oldest son & daughter are 11 and they do body weight training once a week with me during the season. Pull-ups, push ups, dips, leg raises, sit ups, planks, squats (and sprints). No added weight. Both are beasts. Both extremely self disciplined. Son also catches 200 balls a week and wants a jugs machine to bring it to the next level.
Son is approximately 5 foot 1 and a little over 100 lbs. and has been able to keep his speed & agility at high levels while adding muscle. Fastest kid on the team while being one of the biggest.
He does no outside training or plyometrics.
He’s in a tackle league where the weight limit is a lot more than he weighs (180 I think) but those kids tend to be O & D linemen. He often matches up with much smaller corners & safety’s.
