Until an athlete knows his or her current level of ability, it is impossible to realistically recommend programming, create goals and monitor progress. The Parisi Evaluation is mandatory for every athlete who enters the Parisi program.

During the evaluation, athletes are taught the Parisi signature Active Dynamic Warm-Up, carefully examined during the running analysis, and tested in a battery of speed and physical strength movements. After the evaluation, every athlete with their parent meets individually with the Evaluator to review the results and select the appropriate program that fits the athlete's needs.
