Speed is a skill.
We teach it.
Youth speed, agility and athletic performance training in Knoxville, built on the Parisi system and coached one rep at a time.
Built for young athletes who want more than a workout
Every plan starts with where an athlete actually is, not a generic class.
Outgrowing their coordination
Growth spurts change how a body moves. We rebuild footwork, balance and control so growth stops working against them.
Overlooked for speed
Speed is trainable. We break down mechanics, drive and acceleration so athletes stop relying on raw ability alone.
Stuck without a plan
Showing up isn't a program. Each athlete gets a track built around their sport, age and current level.
Training alone
Athletes push harder next to teammates. Group sessions keep effort high and progress visible.
Programs by age and goal
Group and individual training, structured around how young athletes actually develop.

"My son started Parisi about 4 years ago when he was 8 because we thought he ran 'funny' and 'wild.' Now he is the fastest kid on his team and his explosive 10 yard is unmatched. The coach Barry is kind, knowledgeable, and technical. I would highly..."
"Two months with Barry and I'm in the best shape I've been in years, full stop. Every session has a purpose, the progressions are dialed in, and he reads the room, pushing when I needed to be pushed and pulling back when form was about to break down..."
"Parisi for the whole family! Coach Barry is the perfect combination of encouragement, toughness, and fun. Tremendous bonding experience for all of us, and fitness for our children to benefit their other sports from travel soccer to gymnastics to mountaineering..."
"My child had a sudden growth spurt that left her a bit uncoordinated and slower. Speed school has allowed her to reconnect her mind and body through focus on proper form, core work, strength training, sprints and running, all disguised as fun with friends..."
"We can't speak highly enough of Barry! He is wonderful with the kids! He is an encourager, shows them proper technique, and keeps it fun for them. My kids look forward to going every week. There has been so much improvement with their running on the field."
