Seahawks curriculum is based on the FLYLAX training system and methodology primarily because of the emphasis on development not competition.
We use state-of-the-art concepts to achieve our primary purpose of promoting and growing the game through fun, safe, technically-advanced and sportsmanlike activities.

LTAD Stages of Development
The Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) model informs our training curriculum by providing the conceptual framework of athletic development over time. Here are the proven seven stages of the basic LTAD model that parents must be aware of as they manage their child's lifetime athletic experience:
- Active Start (0-6 years): Encourages daily, unstructured play to develop functional movement skills, coordination, and confidence.
- FUNdamentals (girls 6-8, boys 6-9): Focuses on fundamental movement skills and basic sports activities.
- Learn to Train (girls 8-11, boys 9-12): Introduces structured training and sport-specific skills.
- Train to Train (girls 11-15, boys 12-16): Emphasizes skill development, aerobic fitness, and strength.
- Train to Compete (girls 15-21, boys 16-23): Prepares athletes for competition at higher levels.
- Train to Win (girls 18+, boys 19+): Focuses on elite performance and specialization.
- Active for Life: Encourages lifelong participation in physical activity
