Off-Season Conditioning Workouts
The HGCS Athletic Department is offering off-season conditioning workouts for ALL athletes grades 6th-12th not involved in a winter/spring sport.
Coach Pondo has coordinated and led these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start January 3, 2017, Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00p.m. The program he follows is the nationally recognized “Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)” program. This program is used by most high schools and small colleges/universities in the country. It is a great program for ALL athletes in all sports. Athletes must have a current physical on file with Athletic Trainer in order to participate.
The off-season is the time for you to improve as an individual. It is our hope that ALL will take advantage of this program. This program is free of charge, convenient, and it WORKS!
Please contact Coach Pondo with any concerns or questions. Also, please see the attached information regarding instructions.
