Parisi Speed School of Middletown

🥍 Building more powerful lacrosse athletes one training drill at a time.

Coach Andre is teaching these lacrosse players banded thigh drives while maintaining stick position with a PVC pipe. This movement helps athletes develop the explosive hip drive, core stability, balance, and body control needed to accelerate, change direction, and play through contact.

At Parisi Speed School Middletown, every exercise has a purpose. We teach young athletes how to move better, become more explosive, and perform with greater confidence.

Train with purpose. Build athleticism in any sport. Elevate your game. That's the Parisi difference.

💪 BUILDING STRENGTH THE RIGHT WAY.

At Parisi Speed School Middletown, our coaches don’t just tell young athletes what to do; we teach them how to move correctly.

Here, Coach LJ works with a young athlete on proper Landmine Press technique; a great athletic strength exercise that helps develop:

🔥 Upper-body strength & power
💪 Shoulder strength & stability
⚡ Core strength and control
🔄 Force transfer through the entire body
🛡️ Proper mechanics & injury resilience

For young athletes, how they train matters. Proper coaching, technique and age-appropriate progression build the foundation for getting stronger, moving better and performing at a higher level.

👉🏼The Parisi difference when it comes to:
🏃 Speed • Strength • Agility • Performance

⚾ Great day of baseball and athletic development at Parisi Speed School Middletown!

A huge thank you and shoutout to all the baseball athletes from who showed up recently ready to train, compete, learn, and get better! 💪⚾

The facility was packed with players who brought incredible energy and effort.

It was awesome having them train with our coaches at Parisi Speed School Middletown, working on the speed, strength, and athleticism that can help take their game to the next level.

Thank you to FCA Hudson Valley, the athletes, parents, coaches, and volunteers who made the day possible. We loved being part of it and look forward to doing it again!

Train Faster. Get Stronger. Perform Better. 💪

In this training session, Parisi Coach Moyer is teaching young athletes low pogos and high pogos, plyometric exercises designed to help athletes become quicker, more explosive, and more efficient when they run and jump.

🔥 LOW POGOS emphasize quick, reactive contacts with the ground. Athletes learn to stay stiff and springy through the ankles and spend as little time on the ground as possible.

🚀 HIGH POGOS build on that same reactive movement while emphasizing greater force production and vertical explosiveness.

Training these movements can help young athletes develop:

⚡ Reactive Strength; producing force quickly when the foot hits the ground
🏃 Speed & Running Efficiency; improving the ability to rebound off the ground during sprinting
💥 Explosiveness; developing more powerful jumping and athletic movement
🦶 Ankle & Lower-Leg Strength; building the stiffness and stability needed to transfer force effectively
🎯 Coordination & Body Control; learning proper rhythm, posture, and landing mechanics
🛡️ Athletic Resilience; progressively preparing muscles and tendons for the demands of running, jumping, cutting, and competition

At Parisi Speed School Middletown, we don’t just make athletes work hard. We teach them how to move better.

Every drill has a purpose. Every movement is coached. And those fundamentals build the foundation for speed, strength, agility, power, and confidence.

🔥 Better movement creates better athletes.

⚡ SPEED ISN’T JUST TALENT. IT CAN BE TAUGHT.

Here’s a glimpse into the recent training attended by our Parisi Speed School Middletown coaching team at Parisi headquarters, Alliance Performance in Fair Lawn, NJ.

In this session, our coaches are learning how to effectively teach and cue arm action; a critical component of developing speed and efficient sprint mechanics.

At Parisi, we don’t just tell athletes to “run faster.” Our coaches are trained to understand how speed is created and how to teach the proper mechanics, technique, and movement patterns that help young athletes become faster, stronger, and more explosive.

That commitment to education is part of what separates the Parisi system. Parisi also brings this knowledge to professionals nationwide through its Anatomy of Speed events, educating coaches, trainers, therapists, and movement professionals on the science and application of speed development.

🔥 Parents & Coaches: If you want to help your young athlete(s) take the next step in their development, Parisi Middletown focuses on building:

⚡ Speed
💪 Strength
🔥 Agility & Explosiveness
🧠 Confidence
🛡️ Injury Resilience

It all starts with understanding where your athlete is today and creating a plan for where they can go next.

Building Better Athletes.

🏆 Congratulations to Gabriella Valerio! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to officially recognize Gabriella Valerio (a/k/a "Gabby") as a Junior Olympic All American, and one of our Parisi Speed School Middletown Sponsored Athletes.

Gabby’s journey is a testament to what happens when talent meets relentless hard work, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

After training with Parisi Middletown for more than four years, Gabby continues to raise the bar with every season. In 2025, she achieved something truly extraordinary by competing in her first Junior Olympics, finishing among the top athletes in the nation in all of her events and earning the prestigious title of Junior Olympic All-American. By placing Top 8 in the 100-meter dash, Gabby has officially stamped her name in the record books, and we have no doubt this is only the beginning.

Her drive, humility, work ethic, and leadership perfectly embody everything Parisi Speed School stands for. She inspires younger athletes every day by showing that consistent effort, discipline, and belief in yourself can lead to incredible accomplishments.

As a Parisi Sponsored Athlete, Gabby receives:
✅ Complimentary Parisi Speed School training classes
✅ Access to use our training facility for her own workouts during normal operating hours
✅ Recognition as one of the elite athletes representing the Parisi Speed School Middletown family and serving as an ambassador for our community.

Gabby and Shatia (mom 😊)...thank you for trusting us to be part of your athletic journey for 4+ years. It's an honor watching Gabby grow into the remarkable young athlete she is today.

The future is bright, and we’ll be coaching and cheering you on every step of the way, with sights set on seeing you continue the journey toward your goal of Olympic Games! 🇺🇸

Please follow Gabby's continuing journey through her mother, Shatia Flowers Valerio (). We know this is only the beginning of something very special.

👏Your entire Parisi family is proud of you, Gabby!

🔥 Great athletes learn how to control their bodies.

One of the key drills Coach Moyer is using here is Hip Twists.

At first glance, it looks simple. But it’s developing skills that translate directly to game-day performance.

✅ Improves hip mobility and rotational control
✅ Teaches athletes to separate hip movement from upper-body stability
✅ Develops balance and body control during rapid direction changes
✅ Increases agility and reaction speed
✅ Strengthens the muscles that help reduce injury risk during cutting and pivoting
✅ Builds coordination and athletic movement efficiency

Notice how the athletes keep their shoulders facing forward while their hips rotate quickly on command. That ability to create stability in the upper body while generating movement from the hips is essential for nearly every sport; from football and baseball to soccer, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball, and more.

It’s not just about moving faster…

It’s about moving more efficiently, under control, and with confidence.

That’s how athletes become quicker, more explosive, and more resilient.
