Workouts are being scheduled (starting 01/02/19), four days/week focusing on measurements, base line, continuity, guidance from Rob Mangino, drills, test every two months, support of athletic trainer: two days in the weight room and two days at Mangino’s Strength and Conditioning.

In the meantime, letter penned by a parent of a player is being sent to the Superintendent to request a meeting; all are encouraged to attend the next Board of Education meeting to voice our opinions about this situation to request change.
