Plyometric Drills



Hi Everyone. I have added the plyometric drills that we showed you last season to our website. This is the proper form for ALL of the drills that we do. When they are done correctly, consistently, your running form, and speed WILL improve.

The video is above, and also at the bottom of the blog. I may move it to the side instead so it will be easier to find.

PRACTICE

OUR SWIMMING PRACTICE TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED THIS WEEK!!!
PLEASE ARRIVE AT THE MVHS POOL READY TO WORK OUT AT 8AM!!

They are going to be working on the pool Friday, so we have to be finished by 9:30am!


CAMP
We leave for camp on Monday after practice. Please make sure you have looked over the camp packing list on the flyer (see important documents to your right). Pack early so you don't forget anything! Also, if you parents are driving on Monday, Wednesday and/or Thursday, make sure they print out the directions information page too.
Practice will be at 8am on Monday. We will meet next to the swimming pool, then head down to the track to warm up, complete the AT's workout, have some fruit, muffins and water, and then head up the mountain at 10am.
When we arrive at the camp sites, there will be a place to set up boys tents and girls tents. I will also need help setting up the food tent.

Looking forward to a fun week with lots of great runs and team bonding time!
Coach G.
