Parisi Speed School Celebrates 20 Years of Being Industry Leader in Youth Sports Training WYCKOFF, N.J., Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Parisi Speed School's 20th anniversary and its role as the leader in youth sports training, Parisi Speed School franchises are holding a nationwide Open House on March 10 to encourage even more children to get faster and stronger.

Over 600,000 young and aspiring athletes, elite athletes, Olympic coaching associations, college, pro teams, Fortune 500 companies, and military troops are Parisi alumni. Some notable names that may be considered for induction into the inaugural 20 For 20 Hall of Fame class, which will be announced later this year, include Phil Simms, Ray Rice, Wayne Chrebet, Chris Long and many others. Locally, Parisi franchises will select one former or current student to be their inaugural nominee for the Parisi Speed School Wall of Fame which will be displayed at each participating franchise. "When I look back over my 20-year career with Parisi Speed School, I am amazed at how many children and adults have benefited from their participation in sports and improved their skills both physically and mentally," said Bill Parisi, Founder & CEO of the Parisi Speed School. Having worked with some of the best in the business and also having been a competitive athlete, I learned early on there are no short cuts to success and the only way to succeed is through hard work and perseverance. Parisi Speed School franchises are also inviting parents and children to an Open House on March 10 which will include the renowned Ultimate Cat Club Challenge - a motivational, testing and training program that ranks and charts the progress of athletes. Children can take the challenge and see how they measure up against themselves as well as similarly aged competitors. Participants will receive Cat Club certificates as well as prizes and giveaways. Staff from Parisi Speed School will be on hand to answer questions about the school's programs and review options that meet the best needs of each individual participant. Parisi added, "I am proud of what we have accomplished in helping to set the standard in youth sports training but also recognize how much more we can and need to do to really help children compete at the highest levels. I look forward to celebrating the next 20 years of speed and growing stronger.
