Does age make a difference in a weight training program?

Not so much as experience. Basic movements/bodyweight exercises with beginners and older clients/patients. You don't want to discourage the individual in giving them exercises which they cannot perform as they will stop the program. Pre-puberty kids should focus on agility, coordination and bodyweight exercises with good form. Girls mature faster than boys, so they will be able to move into resistive training sooner, but don't rely on chronological age. Every kid matures differently. Also, when using free weights, the child's ability to follow directions is imperative. There's a nice article in this month's Training and Conditioning magazine on weight room safety.
