Weightlifting is not only an Olympic sport, it is also used in a variety of other sports as a means to develop basic physical skills.
Weightlifting can be beneficial to all and that’s why our youth school is dedicated to children from 9 to 15 years old, girls and boys, regardless of their skill level, morphology, etc.
Our mission is to introduce young athletes to weightlifting, but also to develop general coordination and basic physical abilities as well as teach muscle strengthening techniques. Coordination, flexibility, explosivity, balance and concentration are key skills that we will be looking to improve.
Classes are scheduled on Saturdays from 10 to 11.30 am. They are given in small groups by one of our state qualified instructors in one of the best clubs of Belgium.
