St. Mary’s Football – Summer Workout Program

 ________________________________________________________________________

 A note from Coach Church . . .  

Welcome to all new and returning St. Mary’s football players. Like any contact sport, football can place great demands on your body and can really test your physical fitness and stamina. Above anything else, our goal here at St. Mary’s is for football to be fun and rewarding for all of our players. Being physically fit can go along way in helping you the player have fun with the game and help you achieve your very best. 

Let’s face it, that first week of practice can be a real bear, lot’s of running, running and more running. To help make that first week a little easier for you, I have asked my coaches for suggestions and ideas that will help our players come to that “first day” of practice in the best shape possible.  Below is a very simple, easy to follow VOLUNTARY program that we all feel will help you get off to a great start this season IF you spend a little time with it. Good luck and have a great summer. See you in the fall.
