From what I have learned about running a faster 60, it seems like resistance training is the most popular technique, does anyone have a system that they personally know that works?

PGStaff had an excellent program that he posted a few years back. I'm sure you can plug in 60 times under the search function and find it.
No particular system to recommend, but another suggestion.
The player's starting position is like a baserunner, not a sprinter, correct? Many kids have their weight evenly distributed over their legs, and their feet in a square stance. It is not cheating to have the weight loaded on the front (right) leg and the feet in a slightly open stance. This can help the back (left) leg come through with a quicker and more powerful first crossover step.
Don't trust me, time it for yourself. First with the even-weight, square stance, and then with the front-loaded weight, open stance.
EDIT: I've seen it worth .1-.15 seconds. Each kid's mileage will vary
