Rainey Elite Speed
Ocala, FL
WELCOME
We train like champions, but we grow like family. Our program is built on respect, encouragement, and belonging, giving every athlete a place where they feel supported, valued, and motivated to push beyond their limits.
At Rainey Elite Speed, we believe in developing the whole athlete. That means building confidence, discipline, and character while challenging each athlete to work hard, stay focused, and give their best every single day. Our coaches push with purpose and support with heart.
We understand that competitive track isn’t for everyone.
Starting in January 2026 we will be offering non-competitive conditioning, personal training sessions, and developmental camps (TBD) to help every athlete stay active. We’re committed to helping every athlete, of every background and ability, to reach their full potential in a safe, uplifting, and competitive environment.
At Rainey Elite Speed, you’re not just part of a team.
You’re part of a family that believes in your greatness.


Our Story
Founded in 2023, Rainey Elite Speed was born from a simple but powerful belief: that every young athlete deserves a place to train hard, feel supported like family, and grow both on and off the track. Our club is dedicated to developing athletes of all backgrounds and abilities in a safe and inclusive environment.
Leading our program is coach Chris Rainey, a decorated athlete who competed at the highest levels in both track and football. He won two NCAA championship in the 4×100 relay and was part of the national-championship football team at the Florida Gators. Coach Rainey went on to play professionally in the NFL and later became one of the most electric athletes in the CFL. His professional journey gave him firsthand experience in elite training, discipline, and mental toughness. Now, he brings that expertise back to the youth in our community, using his pro-level knowledge to develop athletes with purpose, confidence, and heart.
Coach Rainey and wife Jenn founded the club with the vision of offering more than just speed training, he wanted to create a community where athletes become stronger, smarter, and more confident in all areas of life. His program emphasizes that speed is only part of the equation; mindset, discipline, academics, and character are equally important.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support youth development through high-level training, mentorship, and community. We aim to foster confidence, discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork in every athlete regardless of their starting point. We believe in creating a positive yet competitive environment where each young person has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and feel valued.
