Parisi Speed School — Philadelphia, PA
Speed, Strength, Confidence — Built For Young Athletes.
The world's leading youth performance program — now in Philadelphia at PrideFit. For athletes ages 7–18+.
A Proven System
What Every Parisi Athlete Develops
The Parisi system is built on four pillars that work together — not as separate components — to develop complete athletic performance.
Speed Mechanics
Proper acceleration, top-end speed, and deceleration mechanics. Not just running faster — running correctly so speed can actually develop safely.
Agility & Reaction
First-step quickness, change of direction, and reactive ability — the skills that separate athletes at every level of competition.
Strength & Power
Age-appropriate strength development that builds the foundation for explosive athletic performance without the risks of inappropriate loading.
Injury Prevention
Movement quality and joint stability work that reduces injury risk — critical for multi-sport youth athletes who already have heavy training loads from their primary sport.
Programs By Age

Parisi Speed Evaluation
Every Parisi journey begins with a World-Speed Evaluation. This baseline assessment identifies your athlete's strengths, weaknesses, and ideal program placement.
Request EvaluationThe First Step
Every Athlete Begins With A World-Speed Evaluation
The World-Speed Evaluation is the Parisi system's standardized baseline assessment. Before any athlete starts a program, their coaches need to know exactly where they are. This is how that happens.
Speed & sprint mechanics assessment
How the athlete runs — arm drive, stride, posture, and acceleration pattern.
Agility & change of direction
First-step quickness, lateral movement quality, and reactive ability.
Strength & power baseline
Age-appropriate strength measures that inform program design and set trackable baselines for progress.
Program placement recommendation
Based on assessment results, your child gets placed in the program most appropriate for their current stage of development.
What Happens During The Evaluation
Dynamic Warmup
A structured warmup to prepare joints and muscles for assessment movements.
Speed & Agility Assessment
Timed sprints, change of direction drills, and movement quality evaluation.
Strength & Power Test
Age-appropriate baseline strength and power measurements.
Results & Program Recommendation
Coach reviews results with parents, explains what was found, and presents a program recommendation.

From Parents
What Parents Are Saying
"My son plays club soccer and I wanted him to get faster without just getting him to run more. The Parisi program addressed his mechanics — things his soccer coaches never mentioned. He's noticeably quicker and his coach commented on it unprompted."
Lisa V. (Parent)
Son, age 13 — Total Performance
"My daughter was always the last one in the pack during track warmups and was getting frustrated. After 8 weeks at Parisi she ran her fastest mile and finally believes in herself as an athlete. The confidence boost alone was worth every penny."
Tom R. (Parent)
Daughter, age 11 — Jump Start
"My 16-year-old is serious about playing in college. We've tried speed camps before but Parisi at PrideFit is on another level — the evaluation showed exactly what he needed to work on and the progress check-ins give us real numbers to track."
Brian K. (Parent)
Son, age 16 — Elite/Advanced
