Structured speed and strength development for middle and high school athletes serving Portland and surrounding areas.
SERVING PORTLAND · CLACKAMAS COUNTY
If you're searching for youth strength training in Portland, what you really want is simple: development your athlete can carry onto the field or court.
Portland is a big sports town with deep high school programs — think Cleveland, Franklin, Grant, and Lincoln — and a youth scene that funnels into them. For families across inner and southeast Portland, Take5 Athletics offers structured coaching that those crowded school and rec settings often can't: two clear tracks, Youth Foundations for ages 8–11 and Athlete Performance for ages 12–18, each with real progressions instead of random group workouts.
Our facility is in Damascus, roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive from inner southeast Portland by way of I-205 or I-5. That short hop out of the city is what lets Portland athletes train on a consistent, year-round plan and keep stacking gains season after season.
At Take5 Athletics, we train athletes with a system built around speed, strength, and movement quality - so they gain confidence, reduce injury risk, and perform at a higher level.
Included with every youth program
Every athlete is set up in the Take5 Athletics app on day one. Their program, their roadmap, their numbers — so the work carries on between sessions and you can both see exactly how far they have come.
Seven stages, from baseline assessment through force production. Your athlete always knows where they are and what unlocks next.
Today's session and the full week's schedule on the home screen — plus recovery, hydration and fuel at a glance.
A full exercise library filtered by muscle or equipment, each with a video demo — so form is never guesswork when we are not in the room.
Calorie, protein, carb and fat targets with water tracking. Log a meal by search, barcode, label or photo.
Journaling, guided breathing, mindfulness and pre-game routines — the part of sport most young athletes are never taught.
Personal records and session history in one place, with benchmark re-tests every six weeks. Real numbers, not a feeling.
Free with every youth program — set up at the free evaluation, no extra cost, ever.

Our Youth Performance program is built for athletes ages 8–18, including middle school and high school athletes across all sports.
Most athletes train 2–4 days per week depending on age, sport schedule, and training experience. Frequency is finalized during the evaluation.
We measure sprint speed, jump performance, movement quality, and strength markers, then re-test about every ~6 weeks so progress is written down and easy to see rather than left to feel.
Yes. Between school sports and club commitments, we shape training around in-season and off-season demands, practice load, and your competition calendar so performance and recovery both get their due.
