Why Plyo?

Team practice alone is no longer enough to develop the necessary skills to be successful in today's Junior, Senior, High or College Sports Programs. You need to exceed what is required from yourself to rise above the competition, and improve your overall game. The few that are able to do this are usually the ones who will advance to the next level.

You must take ownership of your abilities. It's your responsibility to develop the individual skills that will take your game to a higher level - not your coach. He has the whole team concept to develop and evaluate how you fit into it. "Champions are made outside of practice!"

'Positive motivation' is the driving force behind Coach Rangel.

Testimonials

"Coach Rangel's Plyo Program was the main reason I extended my stay here in Southern California during the NBA lock out. My foot speed and jumping ability, ( 5 inch increase in 2 months ) were greatly enhanced and I look forward to training with Coach Rangel again after the upcoming NBA season.
Pat Garrity - 19th pick in the NBA Draft, Notre Dame All American, Orlando Magic

"My wife and I checked out the 4 or 5 best Plyo Programs in Southern California including Intense City and Fast Twitch. Conclusion, we now drive twice a week from Glendora, 60 miles away, to train at PlyoCity. I have never seen a program designed to enhance an athlete's foot speed, jumping ability and quickness like PlyoCity. Both of my sons, Casey and Derek, currently train at PlyoCity. Coach Rangel's ability to connect with athletes is a rare gift. I have three sons that have received Division 1 scholarships and I believe with PlyoCity's help, it will be four out of four."
Von Jacobson Father of Casey and Derek Jacobson - California High School All Time Scoring Leader, McDonalds All-American, US Junior National Team Member, starting 2 guard Stanford University 1# ranked team in the country, All-American First Team, 1st round draft pick of the Phoenix Suns.

"Coach Rangel worked as hard as I did to improve my game. As a direct result of PlyoCity, I saw my jump increase 6 inches. My quickness and conditioning improved so much that my coaches at UOP commented that I looked like a different athlete. Coach Rangel is one of the few coaches who really cares about his athletes and their progress. I'd recommend PlyoCity to any athlete. "
Clay McKnight - All CIF Guard Mater Dei High School, Starting Guard at UOP.

“As crazy as this may sound, I saw a difference in my daughters foot speed and quickness after one session at PlyoCity. I myself train at PlyoCity with my daughters. I only wish a program like this was available when I played college and pro football.”
Vince Ferragamo - Nebraska Cornhuskers, Super Bowl Quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, Father of Venessa and Jenna Ferragamo.
