Off Season Workouts

One of our core values is commitment and one of the best ways to see that is through participation in our off season workouts. Character has been defined as how you act when you think no one is watching. Commitment is similar in that it can best be seen when the work is hard and the rewards of a Friday night are along ways off.

I am going to ask your son to sign a contract with me regarding the weight room rules, their conduct at off season workouts and their commitment to the program. Off season workouts are not required to be on the football team but they are essential for your son to be the best football player that he can be. I understand and encourage camps and family vacations (prior to August please) and players will not be penalized in any way for attending those.

We will require your son track his lifting by filling out a workout sheet as he lifts. Even if your son does not lift with the team, this should be done as part of any serious workout routine. This helps us to push him to get better and allows us to measure just how he is Closing the Gap.

Strength and Conditioning Schedule
8 Weeks (June 1 through July 23)
We will have two workout times this summer for your son to attend. They can attend either session but we are encouraging the Freshmen and those new to the weight room to attend the afternoon session. Coach Powers and Coach Tyler Martin will be running the weight training program. Coach Spenn and other varsity coaches will attend sessions on a periodic basis.

Monday-Thursday 8:00 to 10:00 AM
Monday-Thursday 3:00 to 5:00 PM (Open to 8th graders)

Freshmen and 8th graders are encouraged to attend the afternoon session.
Players should commit to one time but can switch it conflicts arise on a particular day or week.

7 on 7 (June 2 through July 22)
All players are welcome to attend but this will focus on the passing game. It will follow the afternoon session of Strength and Conditioning on Tuesday all 8 weeks of the summer schedule and will be run by Coach Spenn and Coach Honeycutt.

Tuesdays 5:00 to 6:30 PM

Speed Training
Coach Tyler Martin will be doing specific sport and position speed training similar to what is available from CAP or Velocity at a lower cost. This is a great opportunity for our athletes. These times are specific for football players but additional times are available. For more details contact Tyler Martin (goodfight23@yahoo.com).

Monday-Thursday 10:00-11:30 AM $40/week
Monday-Thursday 5:00-6:30 PM $40/week
Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday 5:00-6:30 PM $30/week

I look forward to seeing everyone over the summer as we work to Close the Gap.

In Christ,

Coach Spenn
