Real speed and agility training in League City, open to all ages. Your athlete gets faster, moves better, and starts carrying themselves differently. You will see it on the field.
PlayForge is a speed and agility program based in League City and the surrounding South Houston area. Every session is planned and coached on purpose, but ask any kid here and they'll tell you it feels like the best hour of their week.
Maybe your kid is brand new to sports. Maybe they're already competing and need an edge. Either way, we meet them where they are and build from there: faster feet, better body control, and the kind of confidence that shows up everywhere, not just on the field.
Sprint mechanics, acceleration, and first-step quickness. It shows up in every sport your kid plays, and other parents notice it too.
Ladder work, cone drills, and reactive footwork. Your athlete learns to change direction faster than the kid trying to guard them.
Monday, Tuesday, and Friday classes where kids train next to other kids. Athletes push harder around other athletes. That's just how they're wired, and we use it.
One-on-one time built around your kid's specific goals. Flexible scheduling, package deals available. Reach out to Coach Rheise and set it up.
Body control, balance, and the movement basics most kids never get taught. This is the foundation everything else gets built on.
Kids get celebrated for their own progress here, not compared to anyone else. When a kid feels faster, they play braver. And that sticks.
PlayForge is built for any kid who wants to move better. Some of our athletes are trying sports for the first time. Others already start for their teams and want more. No experience required, all skill levels welcome.
Coach Rheise has taken athletes from their very first lesson to wins at national-level tournaments. One student he started as a complete beginner went on to finish 2nd at a world-renowned tournament.
He grew up a multi-sport athlete, and that's where the whole approach comes from. Playing several sports side by side, he saw how much they feed each other: the footwork, the balance, and the body control that carry from one game to the next.
So he trains the athlete first and the sport second. Tennis is his own primary sport, but he studies how other sports move, which is what lets him spot the same skill a soccer player, a basketball guard, and a sprinter all need.
Every session is structured and intentional, but kids don't come back for the drills. They come back because they get challenged, supported, and noticed. That's the whole point.
He coaches athletes from age 4 to 99 across League City and the surrounding South Houston area, in weekly group classes, small group sessions, and one-on-one private lessons.
Coach Samuel Conner ran a 4.3 forty and played professional football. He has trained NFL and MLB athletes, helped high school players earn Division I scholarships, and spent decades doing one thing: making athletes faster.
His clients include Hall of Fame nominee Donald Driver, NFL 1st Round Draft Picks Jerry Hughes and Tony Smith, TCU's Jimmy Oliver, a 2nd Round pick who ran a 4.15 forty, and Andy Dalton, who went on to a long NFL career.
At PlayForge, he works with ages 6–99 and brings the same intensity and attention to detail he's given to pros. Your child won't just get faster, they'll learn to train and perform as an elite athlete.
Five NFL seasons as a defensive tackle: Dolphins, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Giants, and Washington. Undrafted out of Maryland, he earned every roster spot by outworking guys who looked better on paper.
Nobody handed AJ anything, and that's the exact mindset he coaches at PlayForge.
Kids also know AJ from the ring. He's a former WWE Superstar who still competes professionally with TNA Wrestling and Booker T's Reality of Wrestling right here in the Houston area. That matters more than it sounds. When a young athlete gets to train with someone they've actually watched on TV, they show up different. They listen harder, they attempt things they were scared to try, and they start to believe they belong out there.
What he teaches is simple: move well before you move fast. Control your body, trust your training, and compete without fear. If your athlete wants real speed, clean footwork, and the confidence to use both, AJ is who you want in their corner.
Private lessons are open to all ages and scheduled around you. Reach out to Coach Rheise directly. Package deals available for athletes who train regularly.
No hidden fees. No complicated contracts. Just quality training at a fair price.
