Workouts to Resume for LG Athletes, With Precautions
A Note from La Grange athletic Director Matt Kates regarding Summer “EDGE” Program workouts, and Sport Specific Instruction:
- The UIL is allowing all UIL schools to start conducting their summer strength & conditioning programs, and sport specific instruction starting on June 8, 2020. They have set forth extensive guidelines for the safety of our students and staff.
- We have been working on the best practices to start this reopening of our programs starting on June 8 for all high school athletes, and June 15 for all middle school athletes.
- Some of the protocols we will use are the following:
- Hand sanitizer stations readily available
- Use of small and consistent groups to minimize contact
- 25% or less capacity inside our facilites at all times
- Equipment disinfecting in between athletes and groups.
- Pre-Screening athletes and staff everyday
- What we need from athletes and parents:
- Fill out pre-screen form at the beginning of each week.
- There will be no shared water stations, so you MUST bring your own water,and enough for the entire workout.
- Please bring a bandana or mask to wear when you are spotting
- Use proper social distancing techniques at all times, especially at time of pickup and drop off. We will have to check in every student, so be patient.
- Have a current physical on file with Coach Williamson
- The following group times need to be followed the entire summer. With the small group restrictions, we have to stick to the following schedule for all athletes:
- 8:30-10:00: High School Football Athletes (9-12) / Sport Specific Instruction after the EDGE
- 10:30-11:30: High School Athletes (Female/Male) / All Middle School Athletes
- See Edge Flyer for full calendar, but EDGE will run the weeks of June 8, 15, 22, and July 6, 13, 20, 27 with No Training on 7/3, 7/7, 7/8, 7/20, 7/21
- Workouts will be conducted M-F, with dates subject to change.
- With limited space indoors because of our restrictions, weather will be a huge factor on EDGE cancellations. We will get that information out ASAP if need be.
- Location: Leopard Stadium, Weight Room, and Football Practice Fields
- Check in will be on the home side double gate of Leopard Stadium right next to the M.S. field house. We will prescreen you, and then get you to your group for the workout.
