At Well Street Fitness, we’re thrilled to bring Parisi Speed School’s youth sports performance training to our community, with classes officially starting on June 16th. With over 30 years of experience and more than 1 million young athletes trained worldwide, Parisi’s science-based approach helps kids aged 7 to 18 develop physical skills, prevent injuries, and grow in confidence. As we prepare to launch this program, here’s a detailed look at why Parisi Speed School training is so beneficial for children and how it supports their overall development.
Childhood and adolescence are key times for building physical skills that promote lifelong health. Parisi Speed School’s programs are tailored to these developmental stages. For younger kids (ages 7–11), the Jump Start program introduces coordination, balance, and movement patterns through fun, game-like activities. For older youth (ages 11–14), Total Performance adds speed, agility, and strength exercises designed for sports. These programs teach kids to move efficiently, enhancing performance and encouraging a positive connection to physical activity.
Research indicates that structured movement training during youth improves motor skills and lowers injury risk later in life. By emphasizing foundational skills, Parisi equips kids for success in any sport or activity they pursue.
Speed and agility are vital for sports but require careful training to develop safely. Parisi Speed School focuses on techniques like linear speed (straight-line running), multi-directional speed (quick direction changes), and functional strength. Their Active Dynamic Warm-Up, included in every session, prepares kids’ muscles and joints by boosting blood flow and core temperature, which studies suggest can reduce injury risk by up to 30%.
Parisi’s strength training is age-appropriate: younger kids use bodyweight exercises to build control, while older athletes may progress to supervised weightlifting with certified coaches. This approach aligns with American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, ensuring kids gain strength safely without stressing growing bodies.
Physical activity significantly impacts a child’s mental and emotional well-being. Parisi Speed School’s training fosters resilience, focus, and self-confidence by encouraging kids to set goals and celebrate progress in a supportive environment. Parents often share stories of kids gaining confidence after mastering a drill or improving their speed, which can carry over to better performance in school or social settings.
According to studies in the Journal of Sports Sciences, structured sports training can boost self-esteem and reduce anxiety in youth. Parisi’s positive coaching helps kids develop a growth mindset, equipping them for challenges in sports and beyond.
Sports injuries affect approximately 8,000 kids in the U.S. each year, per the CDC, often due to improper movement or overuse. Parisi Speed School counters this with a mandatory Performance Evaluation, assessing each child’s movement, strength, and flexibility to create a personalized training plan. This evaluation spots potential issues, like poor landing mechanics, that could lead to injury.
Parisi also teaches techniques such as proper deceleration (slowing down safely) and reacceleration, which protect joints during dynamic sports. By prioritizing injury prevention, Parisi helps kids stay active and healthy long-term.
Every child develops uniquely, and Parisi Speed School’s programs reflect this. Options include Game Time, which engages beginners with fun exercises like plyometrics and yoga, and Elite Sports Performance, for teens targeting competitive or collegiate sports. The Performance Evaluation ensures kids are placed in a program suited to their abilities and goals, whether they’re new to fitness or experienced athletes.
Sessions run 6 days per week, with flexible formats like small groups or one-on-one coaching. This tailored approach, led by certified coaches, helps kids progress at their own pace, building a sense of achievement.
Parisi Speed School’s methodology is rooted in science and refined over decades, with input from experts like Dr. Stuart McGill, a leading biomechanics researcher. The program has trained athletes at all levels, from youth sports to over 190 NFL draft picks and professionals in the NBA, MLB, and Olympics. This track record shows Parisi’s ability to adapt its methods for kids with diverse goals, from recreational sports to elite competition.
Well Street Fitness is dedicated to creating a welcoming space where kids can discover their potential through movement. By offering Parisi Speed School in our modern facility starting June 16th, we’re providing access to expert coaching and a program that emphasizes physical and personal growth. Our team is eager to support families in helping their children build skills that benefit them in sports, school, and life.
