"MOST TALENTED ATHLETES NEVER REALISE THEIR CHILDHOOD DREAMS."

IN TODAY'S WORLD WHERE MORE IS BETTER, THE RIGHT PHYSICAL PREPARATION CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR CHILD MAKING IT, OR MISSING OUT.

As kids, it’s obvious to most parents that they should participate in a wide variety of sports — exposing them to as many different opportunities as possible puts them in the best stead for adolescence. The more your young kids can run, jump, hop, swim and enjoy sports, the better.

But things get difficult during adolescence. Growing bodies become susceptible to injury; higher levels of sports demand more from our kids, and the pressure of progress starts to weigh down on our kids shoulders.

This creates an environment where most kids are set up to fail — they are pushed too hard, for too long, until they break.

One of the best ways to manage the pressures of multiple sports, multiple training sessions, school and a social life, is to optimise their athletic potential… off the field of play. Helping athletes jump, land, run, push, pull and be injury resilient is one of the most valuable tools in a sporting parents arsenal — it can keep them going while the kids around them take time off.

This is our ‘secret weapon’ that our emerging athlete’s parents like to keep close to heart. While most athletes simply do ‘more and more training’, our athletes allocate a percentage of their training week to learning how to move well… because that’s one of the best ways to prevent injuries.


It’s also one of the best ways to set them up for success as an adult athlete wanting to become professional — if they are going to make it, they need every advantage they can find. That’s what our Developing Athlete Program provides — an opportunity for young athletes to move and perform well… because the most athletic athletes usually have the best chances at success.

Testimonials

WE’VE HELPED A WIDE RANGE OF ATHLETES

“I’ve found that I’ve always peaked at the right time that I wanted too. I’ve been able to build strength in areas that I’ve always been weak at which has been really good…The way I see it, it’s an investment in your own performance. If you’re injured you go and see a physio, pay for the physio, if you want to get better and stronger you’ve got to commit and invest in paying for a good gym membership and getting a quality experience from it.”

Kyal Oh

“Tom, Ryan and I caught up and put a plan together to get me back to footy. If you go to a normal physio they might get your strength back in the legs but they won’t prepare you for sports specific movements. Tom and Ryan have done an excellent job of putting my program together and getting me right. I feel amazing, if had said to myself when I had done my ACL that I would be back full training at the 8 month mark I would of been shocked. It feels amazing to be back and competing.”

Andrew Haydon

“I came off a recommenadtion from a friend, and I found that it wasn’t just a gym it was a community. Most gyms you go to you might get a hello from someone but that’s not often. We as at Ludus everyone wants to knwo how you are, what you do, how your going with your injuries and their really invested. It’s nice.”

How it works

Our Developing Athlete Program (DAP) enhances athleticism, reduces injury risk, and builds strength, power, and speed for 11-16-year-old athletes, ensuring long-term success. One of Perth's few complete junior athlete development programs.

The DEVELOPING Athlete Gameplan

DESIGN YOUR GAMEPLAN™


There is an old saying: “what doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get improved.” Through no fault of their own, emerging athletes are rarely provided with the objective feedback on their athleticism that they need in order to improve their sporting potential. Because of this, most junior athletes enter the later teenage years under conditioned, lacking physicality, and lacking athleticism. They feel slow off the mark and are regularly beaten by the more ‘naturally gifted athletes’.

Our Developing Athlete Program helps aspirational athletes stand out so they can emerge as champions. Measuring their current ability is the first step.

Over the course of this performance testing experience, we help our emerging athletes:

– Pinpoint their weaknesses that are holding them back;

– Identify the blind spots in their performance and discover how to turn them into opportunities; 

– Reveal their X-factor and what they’re already doing well.

By the end of the testing experience, we’ll know how to plan their training so they can emerge as a strong, fit and resilient athlete.

develop a winners mindset

DEVELOP YOUR WINNING MINDSET

Most junior athletes are ‘confidence’ athletes. When they’re confident, things go well. They play naturally and they walk away smiling. When they lack confidence, their performance really suffers. Their head drops, they play within themselves, and they fall out of love with the sport they enjoy so much.

Developing mental toughness through Mental Performance Training is the key to performing at their best during the moments it counts the most — when things get hard and don’t go their way.

We help our emerging athletes rise to the occasion when the pressure is on and turn dreams into reality through mental skills training that helps them develop the grit and self-belief to make it happen. Consider what the great Michael Jordan said:

“The mental part is the hardest part and I think that’s what separates the good players from the great ones.”

Just like MJ, Tiger Woods & Michael Phelps, all the greatest athletes realise that physical preparation is not enough to go from good to great. That’s why all our athletes work on their mental preparation, as well as their physical preparation, developing positive routines and rituals, helping them deal with adversity, and improving their self-talk.

By the end of your first mental skills session, you’ll be on your way to developing a winning mindset and will be ready to join our DAP.

Once your program has been designed and coordinated into your schedule, you’ll be ready to get to work.

Customize your preparation

WE’LL CREATE YOUR INDIVIDUALISED PROGRAM

With the important foundations laid for success, we’ll get to work designing your child’s individualised program. This program will take into account their weaknesses, strengths and blind spots and seamlessly fit their training program into your life schedule. All their strength and power training, fitness and conditioning, and, sprint mechanics will be customised based on what they need to maximise their sporting potential.

Once your child’s program is designed and coordinated with your schedule, they’ll be ready to join our program and get to work.

Customize your preparation

START TRAINING & PUTTING IN THE WORK

With the preparation for training complete, it’s now time to get to work and prepare for competition.

Your child will join our Developing Athlete Program (DAP) and join up to 14 other junior athletes in our small training squads who want the same thing — to succeed in sport.

Under the guidance of our expert coaching and rehab staff, they will complete their training program at our state-of-the-art facility. Every week, they’ll take a small step forward to improving their athleticism.

Over time, these gains ‘aggregate’ to the point where they’re stronger, faster, fitter and more athletic.

Events that would otherwise injure them, don’t. Events that would otherwise rattle their confidence, don’t.

Events that would normally make their head drop, will make them more determined.

With the right preparation, anything in sport is possible.

Ludus - Mignon du Plesiss

I’ve been training at Ludus for about 5 months now and it has been a fantastic experience.  I’m 15, and wanted to build condition, speed and strength in the off season before footy starts again, as well as improve my sprinting times and technique for athletics.

All the trainers have been super nice and take an interest in you, no matter what level you’re at.  I’ve loved the tips and advice to get the most from every workout and am already seeing a big improvement in my energy levels, my performance and my confidence.  It’s great and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a performance gym that is a genuine long term partner.   Cheers James

Ludus - Dion Stasev

I sought the support of Ludus for my daughter Lucia (15yrs) following a circus training intensive. Lucia has been dancing from the age of 3 years and we quickly noticed she had a lot of hyper mobility in her shoulders, back and hip. This was great as she could perform a lot of cool contortion tricks but as she matured, the instability in these areas became problematic. We live in a regional area and heard about Ludus through a family member in Perth. We dropped in one day on our way home from a circus intensive and met Ryan. He went out of his way to fit Lucia in for an assessment before our long journey home back to Geraldton. Ryan explained how the remote training would work, what Lucia’s personalised training plan would entail, how her progress would be monitored, and what other supports she was entitled to as a client of Ludus. We are entering our 6th month with Ludus and our daughter’s strength and stability is unbelievable. Even our family and friends are commenting on it. Lucia has a lot of physical prerequisites to meet before she can audition for the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in 2025. We are confident she will meet these requirements and so much more with the help of Ludus.

Ludus is an excellent one stop centre for athletes who are looking at taking their athletic passion to the next level. Their collective knowledge on strength, conditioning, nutrition and recovery has been very beneficial to my children tennis pursuit.Callan has been very supportive and involved in ensuring that both my girls have a strong physical foundation and are given tailored program specific to their goals.

Thank you Ludus!!

Our Training Philosophy

01. Assessment & Testing To Showcase Their Results

Every athlete deserves to see the fruits of their hard work. That’s why we test our athletes — we want to be able to make it easy for our emerging athletes to see how their hard work is paying off. We test our athletes across the 5 domains that matter: movement quality, strength, power and speed, fitness and injury risk. As the old saying goes: “What doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get improved.”

02. Movement Coordination For A More Consistent Mover

When junior athletes move well, they are already giving themselves a competitive edge. We believe that the juniors who are the most athletic are also the most likely to produce standout performances. The first thing we focus on is laying rock-solid movement foundations that form the bedrock of strong, powerful and athletic athletes.

03. Strength For Physicality & Injury Protection

We believe that the best ability is availability. Research has already identified that strength training reduces injury risk in adolescents (read the paper here). When junior athletes are weak, it’s only a matter of time until they break. It’s simple laws of biomechanics — when their bodily tissues like their tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles can’t handle the force of sport, they break down. When junior athletes get strong, they protect themselves from injury, and that is the best asset of all.

04. Plyometrics For Power & Force Development

Most adolescents lack power production so when you see a powerful athlete, they stand out. Plyometrics provides a fantastic way to increase power out on the field of play in a safe and graduated manner for growing athletes.

05. Sprint & Agility Training For Elite Athleticism

Most junior athletes are never taught how to run — it’s just something they do. It’s no surprise that there are huge differences between speed and agility between athletes. While we can’t change your child’s genes, we can change their running efficiency and optimise their mechanics.

06. Mental Skills Coaching For A Natural Competitor

The right physical preparation isn’t always enough. For a lot of athletes, the mental side of sports performance gets in the way of a natural, confident athlete. Our mental skills coaching helps athletes develop confidence in their ability and feel natural in the moments it counts the most.

The Secret

The Secret To Athletic Success...

There is no secret, unless you think hard work, dedication, sacrifice and a bit of good luck is a secret.

Hear from Ryan Gaias the Head of Performance and Director of Ludus Sports Performance

If an athlete can live by these attributes they have a much better chance to succeed in sport and life. Unfortunately too many people wait for these things to come to them and never succeed.

Those who seek hard work out, dedicate themselves to a goal or dream and sacrifice immediate gratifcation, find that success comes to them.

It’s our job to guide these athletes on their journey to success.

The important thing to realise is that these qualities aren’t natural they are built up through training and mastered over time. What we offer is not just a gym for people to train out of, we’re offering the solution to building a successful athletic career

My job is and always has been, to guide athletes to personal and athletic success. If you want a complete system that prepares you for sporting success, the Performance Program is for you. If you want to get the most out of your mind and body the Performance Program is for you. And, if you want to put the odds in your favour that you reach higher and achieve more in sport, the Performance Program is for you.

STORIES OF SUCCESS

Hear Our Athletes Share Their Stories And How The Performance & Reconditioning Programs Helped Them With Their Success.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO DELAY YOUR POTENTIAL ANY LONGER?

SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

For any athlete, there is a small window of opportunity to reach their potential and strive for that audacious goal. Time never stops, do you want to delay reaching your peak performance any longer?

THE PERFECT TIME IS NOW

The biggest lie an athlete tells themselves is I can’t achieve my goal now. The best time to start is yesterday… is there truly any reason why this season can’t be the best season of your career?

THE BEST PLACE TO IMPROVE YOUR SPORT IS NOT ON THE FIELD

The definition of insanity is to try the same habits, and expect different results… If you rely solely on your sport to improve your performance, you are missing out on a major slice of your potential. You get skillful on the pitch, you get explosive and resilient in the gym. Do you want to keep neglecting high performance?
