01
Established senior
You already play senior football and want to arrive fitter, stronger and ready to perform from the first week.
Flagship intake
21 September
8 weeks · Football · Age 16+ · Mornington and remote
Do not wait for pre-seasonto get fit.
Build the strength, running capacity and habits now, so you can use pre-season to compete for your spot. One football program, delivered three ways through the Virtus app.
3 strength sessions each week
22 running sessions
Monday 5:00 pm shared session
Everything inside the Virtus app
Built for local football
Use the off-season to change what next season looks like.
Best Year Yet is for footballers who want more than a few weeks of random training before club pre-season starts. It gives you a complete block, a shared standard and a finish line.
02
Fringe senior
You want to become more reliable, handle senior demands and give yourself a genuine chance to earn a regular spot.
03
Leaving under 18s
You are stepping into senior football and need a structured bridge into the strength and running demands ahead.
One complete program
Strength and running progress together.
Every athlete follows the same eight-week progression. Your access option changes where the strength work happens and how much in-person coaching you receive.
24 strength sessions
Three sessions each week develop the qualities football asks for: robust lower limbs, stronger contests, repeatable power and the capacity to tolerate training.
22 running sessions
Two runs a week in Weeks 1 and 2, then three a week from Week 3. The progression builds your running base before pre-season adds skill work and match demands.
Shared standard
Mondays at 5:00 pm
Monday counts within the three weekly strength sessions, not as an extra fourth session. Jordy leads, with Lachie joining when two coaches are required. Launch capacity is 12 with both coaches, or 10 with Jordy.
Choose your access
Same program. Three ways to do the work.
Choose based on access and support, not ambition. Remote athletes follow the same progression and share the same app community.

The eight-week build
A progression with a clear finish line.
The flagship group begins together on 21 September and completes Week 8 on 15 November, before pre-season returns on 17 November. Rolling starts stay open for athletes finishing at different times.
Start
Establish your baseline
Full and Hybrid athletes complete the testing battery, then every athlete records their football history, training access and 2027 target in the app.
Weeks 1 and 2
Build the base
Three strength sessions and two running sessions each week establish movement quality, tissue capacity and repeatable training standards.
Weeks 3 to 5
Build football capacity
Running lifts to three sessions each week while strength progresses. The aim is to build the work you need before club pre-season adds football load.
Weeks 6 to 8
Arrive ready
The final phase turns the base into repeatable speed, strength and running output. Full and Hybrid finish with retesting and a clear next recommendation.
“Arrive at pre-season ready to perform, not ready to start getting fit.”
The Best Year Yet standard

The honest answers
What footballers ask before they commit.
Program, access, timing and payment without the sales script.
Who is this for?
Footballers aged 16 and over. The first campaign is aimed at established senior players, fringe senior players and athletes moving out of under-18 football.
What is included in every option?
The same eight-week football progression: three strength sessions each week, 22 running sessions, app programming, training logs, cohort community and weekly accountability.
What changes between Full, Hybrid and Remote?
Full includes three coached strength sessions at Virtus each week, with Monday counting as one of the three. Hybrid uses Monday as its one coached session and completes two independently. Remote completes all strength and running away from Virtus. Full and Hybrid also include start and completion testing.
When does it start?
The flagship cohort starts Monday 21 September and completes Week 8 on Sunday 15 November. Rolling starts are available from Monday 7 September and later Mondays.
Can four teammates join together?
Yes. A verified group of four receives $100 off each Full or Hybrid place, or $50 off each Remote place. Speak with us before checkout so the team code can be set up correctly.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Full is 3 x $320, Hybrid is 3 x $230 and Remote is 3 x $145. Upfront payment remains the lowest total price.
Who runs the program?
Jordy Love, High Performance Manager at Frankston Dolphins VFL, and Lachie Wallace design and oversee the program. Jordy leads the Monday football-performance session, with Lachie joining when two coaches are required. Aiden continues to coach the normal Virtus floor.
What testing is included?
Full and Hybrid athletes complete the same start and completion battery. It covers CMJ and single-leg CMJ power, 10-5 hop tests, ankle and calf isometric force, NordBord hamstring strength, a 2 km time trial, repeat shuttles and a 10 m fly. Results are reviewed against the athlete's own baseline.
Is checkout live now?
Not yet. This is the draft purchase journey. The three Stripe products and instalment schedules will only be activated after the final launch review.
