1. How many times can my youth/athlete train per week and what is optimal?
    The amount of training per week depends on the specific Parisi program. Some programs are unlimited, while others are specific to a number of days per week. The optimal amount of training per week again depends on the program, but in general 2 – 3 days per week is average.
  2. What is the best Parisi program for my youth/athlete?
    The best programming for your youth/athlete depends on the his/her goals, and yours. The only way to determine the best fit is to contact us and book an evaluation. During that time, our Evaluation Coach will discuss the results of the evaluation, along with goals and recommend the most appropriate program for your youth/athlete.
  3. What is youth sports performance training?
    Sports performance training is a relatively new term. It focuses on training a young athlete to be the best he/she can be in his/her chosen sport. The training includes the foundations of any good athlete: speed, agility, strength and self-confidence.  And, an added benefit of good sports performance training is a reduction of sports related injuries.
  4. How does scheduling work?
    We offer our Jump Start and Total Performance sessions (approx. 50 min to 1 hour) at least once a day and usually multiple times per day during summer months. Since most youth/athletes train 2 – 3 times per week, this schedule provides the maximum flexibility for your busy schedule.  We require you to reserve your spot for every training session so that we do not go over the max amount of athletes per session.  Reserving also helps our coaches know which athletes will be in each session so we can prepare to give each athlete the attention they require to achieve their goals.  You can reserve sessions on our ZenPlanner app on your cell phone or on our website.   CLICK HERE to check out our current session schedule.
  5. How many youth/athletes are in a class?
    Class size depends on the program, but generally we follow class sizes below:
    Jump Start and Total Performance:  6 to 10 athletes
    PEAK:  2- 4 athletes
  6. Does the program include weight-lifting… I have heard that is unsafe for young children?
    Our Jump Start program does not include weight lifting, but use body weight techniques to increase strength in a safe and effective way.  Athletes in our Total Performance and PEAK programs will incorporate carefully scripted and monitored weight lifting into their programs.  All of our strength scripts for these programs have been written and approved by experts in the field of youth sports performance.  You can rest assured that your athlete will be well taken care of in our programs!
  7. How long will it take to see results?
    Results depend on the effort your youth/athlete puts into the program. Most youth/athletes who come 2 – 3 times per week and are engaged in the sessions will feel and see immediate results, but you will begin seeing results after only several weeks. If you ever question your youth/athlete’s progress, the Parisi staff will be happy to conduct an updated evaluation.
  8. How is the Parisi program different than other youth sports performance offerings?
    Parisi founder, Bill Parisi, has been training young athletes for 25+years.  Our methodologies and programming where built for youth, NOT an adult program that is “customized” for youth. Additionally, our Parisi coaches are certified to train youth, which is a different set of skills than training adults. Parisi has been in the business of training youth since our inception…it is not simply another market beyond adult to sell for us!
