NEW! Coming December 1 is our revamped Sports Performance Training, now partnered with Youth Performance Lab. Training opportunities for athletes will take place at the Central Athletic Complex (500 S. Naperville Rd.).

Registration needs to take place in person at the Ray Morrill Community Center, downstairs at Parks Plus Fitness (1777 S. Blanchard St.).

High School Performance – This program develops the foundation of strength, speed, and resilience that every athlete needs to thrive. Training emphasizes movement quality in all planes of motion, teaching athletes to move well before moving heavy. Precision, posture, and intent are at the core of every drill–helping athletes build durability, confidence, and game-changing performance.

Middle School Performance – This program bridges the gap between play and performance. Middle school athletes are introduced to structured training in strength, speed, and agility–always with careful attention to form and intent.
Sessions are designed to challenge athletes to think about how they move. We train across all planes of motion, building a strong foundation for durability and athletic growth. Athletes will squat, push, pull, and sprint with an emphasis on technique before intensity, ensuring safe progress and long-term development. While each workout challenges effort, the deeper lesson is ownership. Athletes learn to approach training with focus, resilience, and intent–skills that transfer directly to the field, the court, and the classroom.

Elementary + Middle School Performance – At this stage, movement should feel like play. This program helps young athletes explore how their bodies move through space–running, jumping, balancing, and reacting with intent. The goal is not to master heavy lifts, but to create durable movers who understand posture, coordination, and body control. Each session blends fun, games, and structured drills that teach the fundamentals of athletic movement. Kids will learn how to land safely, change direction quickly, and move with awareness. By focusing on rhythm, timing, and balance, we prepare them not only for sports, but for a lifetime of healthy movement. Success at this level is measured in confidence and consistency, not just speed or strength. With patience and practice, these athletes build the foundation for everything that comes later.

Blueprint for Speed – This program is designed for athletes who want to get faster–specifically in the start, acceleration, and top speed phases of sprinting. Sessions break down the mechanics of the 40-yard dash into teachable parts, with drills that sharpen form, build explosive acceleration, and improve maximum velocity. Athletes practice fewer drills at a higher quality, ensuring every rep develops true sprint speed.

PlyoGility – This program is built around explosive jumping and sharp changes of direction–the skills that separate good athletes from great ones. Athletes are challenged with multi-directional plyometrics, reactive drills, and body-control movements that demand precision under pressure.

By practicing takeoffs, landings, and quick transitions, athletes learn how to absorb force safely and redirect it with power. Each session emphasizes full recovery and maximum intent, helping athletes jump higher, cut quicker, and compete with more confidence in any sport.

Output Performance Hour – This hour is built for athletes who want to measure, monitor, and improve the skills that matter most in their sport. Using Output Sports technology, we track sport-specific movements with precision—giving athletes real data to fuel real progress. A FEW examples include:

• Baseball/Softball – Bat speed, swing power
• Hockey/Lacrosse – Stick speed, shot velocity
• Basketball – Vertical jump, explosive first step
• Soccer – Kick velocity, sprint mechanics
• Football – Throwing speed, serve velocity
• Tennis – Racquet speed, serve velocity
• Gymnastics – Power output on jumps, landings, and transitions
• Swimming – Stroke velocity, turn speed, push-off power

If you use it in your sport, we can measure it–and once we measure it, we can train it.
