DNA + OVR Performance

We keep speed training simple, competitive, and fun. Sessions include timed sprints using our OVR Performance laser timing system, giving athletes instant feedback on how fast they’re moving and helping them track progress over time.

By focusing on short sprints, reaction drills, and basic agility work, athletes learn how to run with better mechanics, improve coordination, and develop real, transferable speed.
