Velocity Sports Performance - Westchester

What Velocity Sports Performance - Westchester does

Velocity Sports Performance - Westchester (VSP) is a privately held, multi-location sports performance training company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Hawthorne, New York. The company delivers science-based athletic conditioning across five facilities in Westchester and Dutchess counties, anchored by a proprietary Integrated Athlete Assessment (IAA) protocol that establishes baseline metrics and measures longitudinal progress through force production, jump, and sprint tests. Supporting the methodology is the ViPR (Velocity Integrated Performance Report) testing portal, powered by a third-party analytics vendor, which enables athletes to track measurables month-over-month and benchmark against peers across the Hudson Valley region.

The product portfolio spans core offerings (IAA, Group Packages by region, Private Training, College Athlete Break Pass, Prep School Break Pass, PerformanceLIFE adult program) and specialized verticals (Return to Play Program, Athletic Placement Process, TPI Golf, VSP Select, Project Summer Speed, Specialty Break Pass). The company also monetizes affiliated team programs with youth sports clubs across lacrosse, volleyball, baseball, and soccer, and operates an Independent Trainer Facility Access Program and an equipment/merchandise shop. The business is a direct-to-consumer services operator with subscription-style training packages priced per session, per program, or per season, plus unit-priced merchandise and equipment sales. The company serves youth and high school athletes as the primary segment, with secondary segments including college athletes, youth sports teams, adults, and golf-specific athletes, while leveraging physical therapy co-locations with ProClinix and Harrison Physical Therapy for cross-referral and return-to-sport pathways. Ownership is concentrated among three partners (Jordan Bledsoe, Daniel Faison III, Brian Fee) with no external institutional capital disclosed.

Others
