Performance Programs

 
Performance Programs
We offer 3 different levels that are based on athlete age and performance. This means that just because an athlete is a certain age does not guarantee that an athlete is automatically at a specific level. All athletes are placed at a certain level after their initial evaluation by an experienced evaluator. According to the level your athlete is placed at, this will help to determine what type of program they should select.

JAM / Jump Start Program (Ages 7-11)
Junior Athlete Membership (Ages 7-11) Fundamentals in overall athleticism and proper body movement with light emphasis on basic Parisi speed techniques. Each class is structured around speed games, individual and group challenges.

Types of Sessions
There are 4 different types of sessions that make up the different programs at the Parisi Speed School. Depending on your athlete's particular needs and the program you select from the price list, he or she will be recommended to take part in certain types of training sessions. When your athlete is in the facility performing a specific session listed below, the focus described will be what they work on that day.

  • Linear Speed sessions - The main portion of these sessions focus on the signature Parisi straight ahead acceleration and top speed running techniques. These sessions are all begun with the dynamic warm up and conclude with the dynamic cool down.
  • Change of Direction sessions - The main portion of these sessions focus on agility and an athlete's ability to move in any direction quickly. These sessions are all begun with the dynamic warm up and conclude with the dynamic cool down.
  • Total Body Strength sessions - These sessions focus on integrated strength training and 3-D Flexibility. This combination of total body strength and flexibility is critical to producing a faster, stronger, less injury prone athlete.
  • Total Conditioning Classes - These classes incorporate all aspects of the Parisi program in a larger class setting. These classes focus on total body conditioning and are a great way to get into shape and maintain your conditioning and speed throughout the season.

Speed and Conditioning Camps

 
Team Speed and Conditioning Camps
Attention Coach! Isn't your job tough enough? Coaches know that today's champion teams are composed of more than just technical players. A super team today has to be a strong, fast, flexible team with great nutrition and a solid mental attitude. The Parisi Speed School has trained hundreds of high school teams over the last 13 years. This program offers information on team training that will give you an edge over your competition. Let us assist you!

Speed is a Skill
When most coaches think of a running workout, they often think about running 40's, or distance work. Today's top coaches know it is not that simple. Not only should the team perform those drills, but they know how to perform them perfectly with impeccable technique. Just like most sport movements involve a best technique, so does running, cutting, landing and stopping. Let the Parisi Speed School share their signature techniques that have produced many state champions with your team.

Body Weight and Core Training
Body Weight and core training is where it all starts. We love the chin up, pull up, and dip as our top exercises of choice. This is because these exercises tell an athlete how strong they are for the bodyweight they are at. This is something the bench press cannot do effectively. If your team cannot do many of these, you need them to get fascinated, not frustrated by them and work on them consistently. Your team will quickly be on the way to a state title. Allow Parisi's to share their tested strength training with your team.
