The Pass Rush Training program is designed to transform athletes into skilled and dominant pass rushers. This program focuses on developing the essential techniques and strategies required to excel in rushing the passer. Athletes will learn to master footwork, hand placement, and timing, along with advanced rush moves.

"Coach Aracri is the best coach I’ve ever had. Not only did he develop me to be a better defensive lineman, but to be a better man as well. His coaching style is direct yet empathetic. He is able to relate and connect with his players in a way I’ve never seen. Coach Roc possesses elite DL knowledge, and is able to bring out the best in players. Under his direct guidance, one season I led the team in sacks and TFL’s as a defensive tackle. There was never a situation in my three years of in-game college football experience that I felt unprepared. Coach Roc’s ability to help my get-off, pass rush moves, and read keys made me the player I was. Furthermore he breaks down film exceptionally well, as he can always find something to get better at and something that was good. I would have never been first team all conference at the Division 1 level without Coach Aracri’s development."
