Can someone recommend the name of a good running chute to train for running speed?

My 13 year old wants to get something to help him run faster. He plays sports all year - baseball, football and basketball and this is only trouble area - speed. A couple of friends have the running chutes. Do they really work or can someone recomment something else. I’d like to get something for Christmas. Thanks.

I have trained with chutes before they are most effective if you have long straightaways to run on. I prefer a weighted vest you can add or deduct weight and use it at anytime I use mineon the treadmill at my house or when I go running outside. One of my friends bought his for $50 at sports authority and uses it while playing basketball to increase his stamina. you can buy both at then click on the equipment tab that should help get you started.
