Performance Evaluation:

Until an athlete knows his or her current level of ability, it is impossible to realistically recommend programming, create goals and monitor progress. The Parisi Performance Evaluation is critical to every athlete in our program for four main reasons:

• Assesses the current level of an athlete’s ability

• Allows proper placement in our variety of programming

• Provides individualized coaching and focus

• Records and monitors progress toward success

The Parisi Performance Evaluation is mandatory for every athlete who enters the Parisi program. During the evaluation, athletes are taught our signature Active Dynamic Warm-Up, are examined during our Running Analysis procedure, and tested in a battery of physical speed and strength movements. After the evaluation, every athlete and parent meets individually with the Evaluator to review the results and select the appropriate program that fits the athlete’s needs.

Total Conditioning (Ages 7-18):

The Youth Total Conditioning Program is designed to get youth off of the sofa, off of electronics and into having physical fun and getting fit. The program develops good exercise habits and awareness of nutrition, as well as addressing “off-the-field” challenges facing youth today.

Parisi Youth Total Conditioning uses fun and exciting modalities like medicine balls, resistance bands, partner body weight exercises, ladders, plyometrics and yoga. We also incorporate Parisi’s speed training methods and the latest in performance and strength training to make this program come alive and produce quick results, keeping youth returning for more.
