about team cfd
Experience working with young athletes
We have a decade long history of providing professional coaching to young athletes to improve fitness and performance. Our Plymouth, Northville and Commerce locations all provide team training for a number of high school and club teams including Plymouth, Salem and Canton hockey, baseball, soccer, wrestling and cheer teams typically training 20-40 student athletes at a time for 1 to 2 hours per session. The programming for each one of these teams was built around the foundations of movement and was sport-specific. We also run CrossFit Kid’s Club both and after school fitness programs at our Northville and Commerce locations for elementary, middle and high school students.
