Hi Soccermum,

 

The best person to speak to about fitness for your child, if you are concerned about the effects of weightlifting on a growing skeletal system, would be your GP or Pediatrician . Otherwise, enrolling your child with a personal trainer who is familiar with teaching adolescents would be a good option. 

 

For more general information on weight training with teenagers I found this resource online that may help:
