The work isn’t stopping just yet, and this time, it’s because our STUDENTS asked for more!
As we wrapped up our Summer Athletic Development Program, our student-athletes made it clear that they weren’t ready to be finished. They want to keep training, keep getting stronger, and keep building momentum as they prepare for the first day of school and the start of fall sports practices.
We couldn’t think of a better reason to keep the doors open!
Summer Athletic Development has officially been EXTENDED through August 10–13! Junior High and High School students are welcome to join us Monday through Thursday with two training sessions available each day at 8:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
We’re incredibly excited to see our students choosing to put in the extra work. Four more days. Two sessions. One more opportunity to get better before the school year begins.
Let’s finish summer STRONG, Yellowjackets!
