A monthly membership that gives youth, middle school, and high school athletes the structure, coaching, and progressions they need to get faster and perform better .
Made for Athletes Who Want to Get Faster
Every athlete has untapped speed waiting to be developed. The question is, how do you bring it out?
A Program for Every Athlete
The Speed Academy was built for athletes who want to reach their full potential — no matter where they’re starting from. Beginners learn the basics, developing athletes build consistency, and advanced athletes sharpen the fractions of a second that set them apart.
Age-Appropriate Training

Youth (Grades 2–5):
Build strong movement fundamentals -
Middle School (Grades 6–8):

High School (Grades 9–12):
Train for peak performance
For Any Sport, Anywhere
Whether your athlete competes on the field, court, or track, the Speed Academy builds the qualities that transfer to every game: explosive first-step burst, sharper change of direction, and the ability to hold top speed longer.
Result:
Your athlete will close space faster, separate more often, and compete with confidence.
Why F.A.S.T. Works
(and Keeps Working)
- Movement Competency: Athletes master posture, arm action, and leg action — what we call the “movement symphony” that drives efficient mechanics.
- Movement Literacy: They learn to connect skills seamlessly — accelerate, cut, shuffle, backpedal, and re-accelerate without breaking form.
- Movement Proficiency: Training pressure-tests those mechanics under fatigue and game stress so they hold up when it matters most.
This approach also taps into a critical window for speed development (ages 7–12), while still respecting the fundamentals that older athletes need. The result? Real game speed that lasts.

Most online drills are just exercises thrown together. The Speed Academy is different — it’s a complete curriculum with progressions that build week after week. Every program is designed by Coach Carlisle, who has developed speed at the NFL and NCAA levels. This isn’t busy work; it’s a proven system that produces real results.
No. Athletes can start right away with no-equipment training blocks. As they advance, resistance tools like bands, bungees, or sleds can be added to continue challenging their speed development.
The Academy is built to flex with your athlete’s schedule. Choose a 2-day plan during heavy practice weeks, then shift to 3-day or 4-day options during lighter weeks or the off-season. The system adapts to the demands of your season.
Yes. Speed is universal. The program trains qualities every athlete needs: explosive first-step burst, quick change of direction, powerful re-acceleration, and posture that holds up at top speed. These skills carry directly onto the field, court, or track.
