Movement Assessments / Strength & Conditioning Programs / Mental Performance / Nutrition / Neuro
Desert Scouts is a modern Youth Athlete Health Initiative and Performance Program focused on optimizing whole athlete development through an extensive array of performance metrics. We provide a proprietary, turn-key software platform along with the assistance and support of our operations team as well as advisors and directors comprised of over 100+ team members. We contract certified licensed evaluators to work independently within their communities, promoting overall athlete health and wellness and increasing performance for athletes in all sports. We’re excited to announce the new and upcoming mental health programs that will also be added to the athlete platform in the very near future along with nutrition, mentoring, and scouting/recruiting!
Our evaluators work in-person with athletes, leveraging our innovative B.A.S.E. Assessment, Strength and Conditioning Programs, Performance Assessments, and Custom Sport-Specific Assessments. Our directors create Assessments, and deliver corrective measures and programming to athletes following the evaluations performed by our evaluators.
Our ultimate goal is to lower injury rates in youth sports across the world, while they achieve significant strides in overall athletic performance. Desert Scouts provides athletes with the best chance to remain healthy and mechanically pain-free throughout the entirety of their involvement in athletic pursuits. The Desert Scouts Organization is led by teams of advisors and directors comprised of current and former professional athletes (MLB, NFL, NHL, MLS, NBA, WNBA, PLL, WBA, etc.), Hall of Famers, Olympians, Athletes Unlimited professionals, D1 coaches and athletes, and Sports Medicine doctors. Together they offer assessments, corrective measures, programming, guidance, training tools and resources, as well as additional expertise layers to facilitate the development of every athlete on our platform to support all of our evaluators/licensees working within the Desert Scouts and Area Scouts Organization.
We understand that learning proper movement, fundamentals, and mechanics in sports is essential at any age. Our diverse programs not only make training enjoyable but also guide young athletes to reach their full potential with confidence. Our mission at Desert Scouts is to lower injury rates in youth sports across the world, while helping all young athletes to reach their performance ceiling within their sport(s) and achieve significant strides in their overall athletic performance. Desert Scouts provides young athletes with the best chance to remain healthy and injury-free throughout the entirety of their sports endeavors. We hope to inspire more children to not only to participate in sports, but to stay in sports, fostering a lifelong passion for physical activity and helping them build confidence and achieve their goals.
At Desert Scouts, we are dedicated to helping athletes of all ages grow and excel. With top-tier training and a teams of skilled Evaluators/Coaches, Instructors, Trainers, and Sports Medicine doctors, we provide young athletes the tools and the support they need to enhance their abilities and stay active on the field, court, ring, or ice!
1. ATHLETE MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT (B.A.S.E.)
2. STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAMMING
3. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT (APA)
The B.A.S.E.™ Assessment is comprised of 24 critical movements and exercises, providing each athlete with essential raw data to tailor their development and training routine. By undergoing this Assessment, athletes identify their strengths and weaknesses, allowing our Team of Sports Medicine and Performance Directors to provide the athletes with corrective exercises. These exercises are specifically designed to improve any deficiencies and to further enhance areas where the athletes excel.
The Strength and Conditioning Program™ delivers age-specific and ability-specific trainings to athletes on the platform on a weekly basis through AI technology, which adjusts and optimizes the programming in real-time, based on their current abilities. Our exercises are designed to address deficiencies identified in our Assessments, bolstering key areas to optimize performance potential and reduce injury risk for our athletes.
The Athlete Performance Assessments™ (APA) provide athletes with an opportunity to showcase their sport and position-specific skillset.
Evaluators facilitate the On-Field / On-Court / On-Ice Assessments and ensure each athlete has the best possible experience. This includes setting up the necessary events, stations, and equipment for athletes to demonstrate their competency at their respective Sports / Positions / Skillsets.
During all of the Performance Assessments, athletes will run through a series of Benchmarks and Objectives, which are tailored to their specific Sports / Positions / Skillsets, while recording all relevant data and metrics. Additionally, athletes will receive further Assessments, trainings, and programming in these areas.
Following the Performance Assessments, the athlete’s scores are recorded on the Area Scouts™ Platform, which connects them to the corresponding benchmark objectives and “RED FLAG” criteria, based on each Director’s recommended methodology. These objectives are based on the most efficient and effective movements for each position. Each athlete will then receive targeted corrective exercises, programming, and/or drills to positively influence their development. Ultimately enabling every Athlete to reach their ceiling, while giving them the best chance to remain healthy and prevent avoidable injuries.
