Youth Sports Performance
Nanaimo's leading youth sport performance facility, designed to support female athletes and all athletes who want to excel in their sport.
Why Wildewood’s Youth Sport Performance Program:
Empowering Youth Athletes
Wildewood Health provides an inclusive, supportive environment where youth athletes can excel in their sport, receive expert guidance, and build lifelong strength and conditioning habits. Here, athletes feel comfortable, grow in confidence both on and off the field, and experience firsthand the transformative power of strength and conditioning in their athletic journey.
Expert Coaching
As a former UBC Varsity Soccer player, our the owner of Wildewood Sports Performance, Krista, knows firsthand what it takes to succeed at the highest level. She climbed to the top, earning a national title and serving as team captain in her fifth year—experiences that shaped her understanding of the dedication, mindset, and environment needed to reach the next level.
Wildewood Sports Performance followers her lead and brings consistency, focus, passion, and fun to every program and session, creating a space where athletes can truly thrive. As a female athlete herself, she has built a facility with a female-focused lens, designed to support the unique needs of girls in sport. However, all athletes looking to train smarter, perform better, and push their limits are welcome.
What our parents say:
"First I would like to personally thank you all for being so wonderful to B. When she first started, she definitely was hesitant to do so. Now she looks forward to each session each week. We have noticed her drive for self improvement has increased along with her confidence both on and off field. What I can tell you is watching her step onto the turf each week, we see her speed has increased, her movements to the ball and into position are faster and above all else, her number of injuries has significantly decreased. We looked forward to watching what comes next for our daughter."

What our parents say:
"My daughter is a high performance athlete who has worked with Krista and Jenna at Wildewood Health for 4+ years. Not only do they provide great health services they also support her in being mentally prepared for her sport. They have worked through injuries, setting goals, increase speed and agility, injury prevention and muscle therapy. My daughter looks forward to these sessions. I know she is in great hands!"
We get it – as a parent of an athlete, constant driving around can feel like a full-time job, and adding another thing to the list might not seem worth it. We are here to tell you that being part of the sport performance community at Wildewood Health is different from any other strength session your child has been a part of and absolutely worth it! The semi-private sessions ensure your child received constant coaching and touch points, the female focused atmosphere is sure to build confidence, and the individualized program will have them running laps around other athletes on their team.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Approach to Sport Performance Training
The Wildewood Sport Performance exists: to create an inclusive, space where youth athletes can thrive. Picture this – your athlete leaving a session energized after a sport-specific workout that not only boosted their fitness but also helped prevent injuries. And the best part? They had fun, felt supported, and can’t wait to come back. Sounds like a win, right?
We work with athletes in all sports – from soccer to lacrosse, dance, and beyond. Every program is tailored to meet your athlete’s unique needs, sport and position in a positive, empowering environment where they’ll get the attention they deserve to reach their full potential.
WHY OUR PROGRAMS WORK
Because we care
Wildewood Sports Performance is more than just training in a state-of-the-art facility—it’s about truly investing in the success and well-being of our youth athletes. We care deeply about each athlete, providing the guidance, support, and environment they need to thrive. While our programs build strength and speed, the real impact goes beyond physical performance. We focus on developing the whole athlete, fostering confidence, resilience, and a supportive community that empowers them to excel in sport and life.
What our parents say:
"My teenager has been attending weekly Sport Performance group classes at Wildewood for almost five months now and is continuing to do so. They play competitive soccer and we were looking for a way to improve overall strength and conditioning, as well as injury prevention. We are finding tremendous value in these classes and seeing real, tangible results and improvements in fitness goals. They provide very thorough initial assessments of his fitness using state-of-the-art technology, in terms of strength, speed, agility, etc and then tailor a custom training program for him, which he performs weekly, with their guidance. He is re-assessed after a few months to see his progress and exercises are also adapted to changing needs, injuries, etc. Not only that, but the staff seem to really teach him the proper technique and form for his exercises, which I have personally seen a great improvement in from when we first started, and are consistently getting better. Skills like these are things that will last a lifetime. There are a wide range of options for times we can attend and we find the cost to be quite reasonable! Also, everyone we have met at Wildewood is really so kind and knowledgeable and seems to truly care about what they do and the people they work with. We are more than happy with the program and highly recommend it."
At Wildewood Sports Performance, we know that you want to be a great athlete and to do that...
You need a sport performance facility that motivates and inspires, while understanding your unique characteristics.
Most sport performance facilities focus on large group training, leaving athletes feeling overlooked, under-coached, and disconnected from their progress.
At Wildewood Health, we do things differently. As a female-owned facility, we understand the importance of an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive environment for ALL athletes—male and female. Our expert coaches provide individualized attention, a strong sense of community, and a space where every athlete is seen, supported, and pushed to reach their full potential.
We go beyond just training—we invest in your success, well-being, and confidence both in and out of your sport. Whether you’re a female athlete looking for a space where you can truly thrive, or a male athlete who wants expert coaching in a supportive environment, our programs ensure you’re progressing, staying injury-free, and enjoying the process every step of the way.
