Fall
Programs
The fall program begins in September once
school starts and continues into early November. Before the program begins, one week should be
taken to demonstrate techniques for all of the primary exercises and the athletes
should be tested for their one-rep maximums in the primary exercises and any
other exercises or agilities that the coach may want to use to evaluate an
athlete’s physical characteristics.
I typically use a 3-day program in the
fall, especially if the athlete is participating in a fall league. If an athlete is not participating in a fall
league, then a 4-day or 5-day program may be desired. By clicking on the links below, you will find
samples of 3, 4, and 5-day programs. It
is important to evaluate previous programs each year and design and implement a
program that will benefit the needs of the athletes and meet time and facility
constraints.
Please use the exercise menu to choose your
exercises for the workout cards. In
addition to lifting 2 to 3 days each week during the fall, it is important to
implement some conditioning and agility training--these are incorporated into
the program. Typically, we will have a
distance run of 2 miles on one day, and on another day have some type of sprint
or interval training. We will also
include some plyometrics, agilities, and medicine ball training which is also
included on the workout cards.
