How do I get started?

Our first step is the evaluation between our Parisi Certified Performance Coach and athlete/parent. Until an athlete knows his/her current level of ability. It is impossible to recommend accurate 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.

Evaluations are mandatory for any child 7+ to enter our Parisi Performance Programming. 

*If you have a child younger than 7 that is interested in our programming. See our Little Speedsters class for ages 5-6.

*If you have a child that is between 7-12 that does not play sports but wants to be active and have fun see our Gametime class.
