Speed Training
Sprint mechanics, acceleration, explosive first steps, and change of direction. Built for athletes who want to get faster where it matters most — on the field and court.
Join Speed Training Sessions Today
Our Speed Training program is built to help athletes get faster where it matters most — on the field and court. Each session focuses on sprint mechanics, acceleration, explosive first steps, and change of direction.
We combine sprinting, plyometrics, and agility drills with expert coaching and performance tracking so athletes see measurable progress. The result: more speed, more confidence, and less risk of injury.
How It Works
Coached Every Session: Athletes train in small groups with direct feedback on form and technique. Age-Appropriate Progressions: Workouts are scaled so both beginners and advanced athletes improve safely. Performance Tracking: Timing gates and measurable tests keep athletes motivated and parents informed.
Why It Matters
Strength work is important — but speed separates good athletes from great ones. For football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, and more, this program is the perfect complement to school lifting. Athletes learn to apply their strength with better mechanics, making them faster and more game-ready.

"We have 3 teen girls (soccer players) who train at Wilmington Strength 2 days a week. We've seen very evident gains in strength, speed and agility, impacting their game dramatically. The confidence boost this training gives young athletes is second to none!"
"Positive and motivating atmosphere for my rising 9th grader. He has progressed in his speed, jumping, and agility. I highly recommend Wilmington Strength to help kids in their health and physical journey."
"Coach Matt and his staff are incredible. My son works out doing the strength and speed youth programs and I couldn't recommend them more! If you have a youth athlete even slightly interested in getting stronger and faster while learning the techniques of lifting — this is where you need to be!"
"Coach Matt has been able to help our son improve his physical strength and speed, along with his self confidence, which has carried over into different aspects of his life. We started having him train 6 months ago and have seen great changes both on and off the field. Highly recommend!"
"My 14 year old son has been going to Matt for almost 2 years. The guys do such a good job teaching kids proper mechanics to prepare them for sports and prevent injury. Speed training on Saturdays is also very helpful. My son always looks forward to his trainings and wishes he could squeeze in another day!"
