Parisi Evaluation

The Parisi Speed School is located inside of the Club 24 Fitness in the Broadmoor Outlet Mall at 5250 Outlet Dr. Pasco WA 99301. Feel free to park anywhere in the parking lot and your evaluator will be waiting for you at the front door!

The evaluation is a chance for you to get to know us and us to get to know you! We’ll start by gathering some basic information such as what school the athlete attends, what grade they are in, what sports and positions they play, any injury history and what type of goals the athlete wants to achieve. From there 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. To complete the evaluation we’ll review the results of the tests and answer any questions you may have. From start to finish the evaluation usually lasts 45-60 minutes.

The evaluation is a physical assessment of your athlete and we will be performing a battery of physical speed and strength movements so athletic clothing is needed. Any athletic footwear will work, but since we will be performing sprints and change of direction tests during the evaluation, a shoe with a smaller cushion and a lower heel height is preferred like a training, basketball, court or indoor soccer shoe (typically not a running shoe). If all you have is a running shoe, we will make that work! No need to go get new shoes for the evaluation!

New Parisi Athletes

Yes, we ask all athletes to schedule their training sessions. As our goal is to always provide an excellent training experience for our athletes. One of the ways to ensure we do this is to limit our class sizes. As a member you have an account through our management system Push Press. You should receive an email when your Performance Evaluation was scheduled as well as when your membership was created. In those emails is a link to update your profile. Once you do this you’ll have access to login to the Parisi Speed School TC app through Push Press. Once logged into the app you’ll be able to schedule your training sessions! Just look for the class times associated with your membership (Elite, TP2, TP1, or Jump Start). If you haven’t downloaded the app, you can do so here; for iPhone. For Android. If you have any troubles with the app, check out this article from Push Press, or reach out to a coach at the Parisi Speed School Tri-Cities.

The amount of training per week depends on the specific Parisi program. Some programs are unlimited, while others are specific to a number of sessions. The optimal amount of training per week again depends on the program, but in general 2 – 3 days per week is average.

Results depend on the effort your youth/athlete puts into the program. Most youth/athletes who come 1 – 2 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.

Parisi Overview

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 your local Parisi and book an evaluation. During that time, the Parisi staff will discuss the results of the evaluation, along with goals and recommend the most appropriate program for your youth/athlete.

If your youth is looking to get active, lose weight and/or get in shape, then Jump Start is the answer. Many of our Jump Start  youth find the “athlete within them” during the Jump Start experience and go on to train like an athlete in our sports performance program.

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.

Parisi programming has a variety of pricing offerings to fit into any budget. We offer “pay up front” and monthly options. Our Tri-Cities location offers no-contract and contract options based on what works best for your situation. Reach out to our experts for more info.

We offer 50-minute to 1-hour program at least once a day and usually multiple times per day. Since most youth/athletes train 2 – 3 times per week, this schedule provides the maximum flexibility for your busy schedule. We even offer Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) See calendar here. 

Class size depends on the program, but generally we follow class sizes below:

Jump Start, Total Performance, and Elite Training – up to 12

P.E.A.K. – 1 to 4

Our Game Time and Jump Start programs do 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!

Our founder, Bill Parisi, has been training young athletes for 25+ years. His methodologies and programming where built for youth, NOT an adult program that is “customized” for youth. Additionally, 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!
