Super Bowl legend Don Beebe is bringing his House of Speed franchise to the Rochester, NY area. The program is designed to help child athletes improve their running and speed skills, for a variety of sports.  Locally, the program is owned by Scott and Mary Frutchey, and officially opens on October 25, 2009.

Scott was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer several questions about House of Speed.

AC:  Why is Don Beebe bringing his House of Speed franchise to Rochester, NY?

SF:  Don began House of Speed in 1998, and has been franchising nationally since 2006. It wasn’t until my wife, Mary, and I found House of Speed and spoke with Don, that he felt he had a franchisee that could bring the vision of House of Speed to upstate New York.

AC:  Why is this program so important to the Rochester community?

SF:   Rochester is well known for its quality of life and focus on family. Part of that focus is on youth athletic sports and the highly competitive nature of Rochester athletics. House of Speed will provide best-in-class sports performance programs that will compliment the many successful sports programs.
 

AC:  What makes this program unique in Rochester?

SF: House of Speed applies our exclusive scientifically developed program which makes individuals become better athletes, but true victory can only be achieved through making that individual a better person. Nothing resonates the character aspect of our program better than our founder, Don Beebe.
 

AC:  How can families benefit from participation in the program?

SF:  Athletes within our programs not only become better performing athletes, but they also become better teammates and more confident individuals. They learn to take ownership of their future, develop mental toughness, play with passion and play with respect.
 

AC:  How much does a typical camp or program cost?

SF:   Two-hour sessions can run as low as $6/hour based on the number of sessions in a package. Camp costs may range from $69 to $129. Additional discounts will be extended during our Grand Opening on October 25th.
 

AC:  Many families in Rochester have promising young atheletes, but have no extra funds for such programs.  What kind of accommodations can be made for a lower income family?

SF:  We are very committed to the Rochester community. House of Speed continues to investigate areas where grants, scholarships or sponsorships can be extended to families in need of assistance.
