2019 Strength & Conditioning Class
This month all current 8-11 graders will be signing up for 2019-20 school year courses. The girls strength and conditioning course is only offered in the afternoon (Mods 15-16) during the first semester. This course is offered to all athletes and if you are interested in playing basketball next year, I highly recommend taking the course if possible. The class will focus on improving your strength, agility and speed. Some factors such as AP courses or Lakeland courses could get in the way of taking the class. Please talk to the guidance office or Coach Hrusovsky if you have any questions.
Basketball Opportunities
Below are some basketball opportunities that I wanted to share. As more opportunities are announced, I will gladly share them out with everyone!
