PRE-SEASON HOMEWORK - March 1st to March 12th. In order to prepare for the AAU season.
All players should be prepared to perform the following:
1. Go to the high school outdoor track. Complete 1 mile run in 10 minutes. Do this first. When you can complete it do one of the following every day. If you cannot make it the first time, go back to the track on another day and run eight single laps at full speed. Rest for 1 minute in between laps. Do this 3 times on 3 separate days and then do the 1 mile run again. You will make it. We will have a team run on March 12 at 6:30PM at North Middlesex Regional High School prior to our Thursday practice (weather permitting).
2. Go to your high school football stadium, run up the stairs to top of stadium and walk down. Repeat 20 times.
3. At your driveway or between two streetlight poles, sprint to the end, slide back from side to side making a zig-zag pattern back to your starting place. Repeat 10 times.
4. At a foul line in a gym or the same distance at home, slide from outside the foul line across the foul line to outside the opposite elbow. Go back and forth as fast as you can for a timed one full minute. Rest for 15 seconds. Repeat 10 times. Each of these will take no more than 15 minutes per day to complete. They are essential to prepare you for our style of play in AAU.
If you have questions, email Coach Wilayto.
