In HS most of the jr/sr kids on my football team paid to go to a speed training camp that was 4 days a week over the entire summer (in Maryville, MO at the hospital). It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly helped a shit load with vertical, agility, balance, strength, and speed.
At the end of it to graduate you had to jump on one of those big ass treadmills and "run" 20mph for 6 seconds. It was intense and scary. The treadmill is pretty awesome. They would change the incline and speeds all the time. Once one of the kids in my group fell, but wouldnt let go of the rail, and so his shoe just dragged along the treadmill for a good 6-10 seconds. When he finally let go the side of his shoe was sanded down to almost nothing.
