Attention Football Players!

In an effort to reduce the number of injuries that occur in football, we are addressing the issue of athletes returning to school and coming out for football unfit and out of shape.  We feel this is a significant contributor to the muscle and joint injuries we see here at the middle school.  We are incorporating a fitness test that is designed around the President's Council on Fitness, Sport and Nutrition test that we administer to all of our students each year.  A sample conditioning program is provided for football players to follow.  For a copy of the test and workout schedule sheet, please go to the CFPMS Athletics page at  cfpms.ucfsd.org/athletics. If you have any questions or concerns about the fitness program and test, please email our Athletic Trainer, Mrs. Kathy Walsh-Shell at kwalshshell@ucfsd.org
