Recreation Programs
One of the core missions of Ije Company is to propagate our "Keep Moving" philosophy by instilling our foundational principles in children, schools, and recreation departments, enabling them to engage in high-level physical activities, receive fitness instruction, and enhance their athletic development. Through strategic partnerships with local recreation departments, we provide athletic physical education based programming to young athletes aged between 5 and 12. By exposing the youth to our programs, our objective is to ignite their passion for staying active throughout their lives, making them valuable members of their community. Our organization offers three distinctive programs - Speed School, Youth Track and Field, and Multi-Sports - aimed at catering to different preferences and requirements.
Speed School
At the heart of IJE Company, its student-athletes, and coaches, lies Speed School - a foundational program that introduces many of our current and former student-athletes to Ije and our SPA Training methodology. This program is designed to equip student-athletes with the foundational skills required to excel in our training philosophy known as SPA - Speed-Plyometrics-Agility. Coined by Ije Founder Ricky Igbani, this philosophy blends speed mechanics, drills, and movements with explosive plyometrics and COD/Agility training.
Our ultimate aim is to provide student-athletes with a solid movement foundation, develop their athleticism, and introduce them to athletic/movement training.
Track and Field
The Ije Youth Track and Field program caters to the athletic aspirations of students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Through this program, children can explore a wide range of track and field events, including competitions, workouts, and development opportunities. Accredited instructors, student-athletes, and former/current NCAA coaches are on hand to provide guidance and expertise in various events, including shotput, javelin, broad jumps, speed-plyometric training, hurdles, distance running, sprints, and relays.
