[ 01 ] Collinsville to Granite City
How close is Elite Speed to Collinsville?
Elite Speed trains Collinsville athletes at 3985 Horseshoe Lake Rd in Granite City, which is the shortest drive of the six metro-east towns on this list. Take I-255 north to I-270 west, or come straight across on IL-111. Group speed and agility starts at $30 a month and the first session is free.
Athletes here come out of Collinsville CUSD 10, and their seasons are set by the IHSA: state finals in March for basketball, May for track and field and June for softball. Elite Speed is not affiliated with the district.
Collinsville and the facility sit on opposite sides of the same stretch of Horseshoe Lake. That is the whole geography lesson. There is no river crossing, no run into the city, and no reason a Collinsville family should be driving past two closer options to get here, because there are not two closer options.
The route from Collinsville
- North on I-255 to I-270, then west toward Granite City.
- Or straight across on IL-111 through Pontoon Beach.
- Either way you finish on Horseshoe Lake Rd.
Both routes are short enough that a Collinsville athlete can finish a school practice and still make a session inside the weekday window. One of our Google reviewers summed the trip up as easy to get to and not too far off the highway, and from Collinsville that is an understatement.
What you get for the drive: groups of 1 to 15 athletes, a coach who watches your kid specifically, and work on footwork, running form and the first three steps out of a stance. See how the speed and agility program is built, or go straight to the free trial.
[ 02 ] The Kahoks
Collinsville athletes, and what they come for
Athletes from Collinsville play for Collinsville High School and the youth programs feeding the Kahoks. Elite Speed is independent, with no partnership or affiliation with the school. The training is the off-hours work a school season does not have room for.
- 017v7 football
Elite Speed 7v7 has been running since 2022 with 14U, 15U and 18U brackets, and has played Pylon in Chicago, Championship 7v7 in O’Fallon and the Flight Shootout in St. Charles.
- 02Basketball and soccer
Lateral quickness, change of direction and transition speed. The same footwork carries onto a court and onto a pitch.
- 03Baseball and softball
First-step acceleration and base running. Spring sports need speed that arrives in the first two steps, which is exactly what gets coached here.
