Gender Specific Training Sessions ( 8th - 12th; Boys and Girls) June 5-29 Mon, Tues, Thurs See times below July 10-27 Mon, Tues, Thurs Sessions will be grouped together based on gender for rising grades 8-12. Workouts will be geared towards the specific needs of each particular sport. The program is designed to give three training sessions per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). We ask that, if a student will be participating in multiple sports in the coming school year, that they sign up for the sport that will begin first in the year. They may still attend any of their remaining sports, but we ask that they stick to only one set of workouts. Each gender has a designated time slot that will remain the same throughout the summer. Each gender has two sessions to choose from. Students may choose which session they wish to attend each day. The information for boys and girls is listed below.
