Severe Weather – SAFETY FIRST!
As it is the part of summer when severe weather impacts practice and games, we had our first severe weather related incident. As a football coaching staff (we are extremely fortunate to have Ron Annis with us as our Athletic Trainer as well) we keep a constant eye to the sky. Once we see a lighting flash/strike, we get off the field and indoors as quickly as possible.
We adjust our practice plan to continue our football work indoors. As a football program, we do not return outdoors until a minimum of 35 minutes after the last flash of lightening observed.
As with today, Ron had our guys running through his ”conditioning” program in the gym. We ask that our players always have a pair of sneakers with them (as instructed by Ron on Day #1) to prepare for this. Please remind your sons to have a pair of sneakers with them each day, that they can use indoors if/when needed.
