Some ask “what is off-season?” Well, it is a combination of weight room, core exercises, agility drills, flexibility drills, speed development, endurance, character development, and just plain hard work. It is amazing the improvement our players demonstrate during this time. The athlete’s bodies show gains in strength and size during this phase. It is the foundation of a championship program.
