HOW MANY SCHOOLS HAVE A WEIGHT LIFTING"PHYS ED CLASS"
HOW MANY OF YOUR PROGRAMS HAVE YOUR ATHLETES IN A PHYS ED CLASS WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO WORK OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY UNDER SUPERVISION AND GET A CLASS CREDIT. DOES IT WORK WELL FOR YOUR SCHOOL?

Logan has a weight training class.
Coach Amyx (a phys-ed teacher) is the instructor. Of course a lot of the football players take it as an elective, but a lot of other kids involved in other sports or activities take the class as well.
Anyone who has met me knows I didn't take it, HAHA, but I knew a lot guys who did back in my day. Seems as relevent as the other electives offered at the high school (film study, speech, current events, etc.)

It sure doesn't hurt a school's athletic programs to have in-school weightlifting...

RV does, a couple of the assistant coaches hold it 3 times a week, twice a day, once directly after school, and then again that evening for the ones that may play other sports.

Re: HOW MANY SCHOOLS HAVE A WEIGHT LIFTING"PHYS ED CLASS"
I FEEL HAVING THIS OPTION IN THE SYSTEM DOES NOTHING BUT HELP YOUR PROGRAM. MANY ATHELETES HAVE SEVERAL STUDY HALLS AND THIS WOULD ALLOW THE ATHLETES A TIME TO COMMIT TOWARDS WORKING OUT ESPECIALLY IN THE OFF SEASON. IT WOULD BE A SUPERVISED, PHYS ED CLASS AND GREAT FOR ANY PROGRAM---- SCHOOL SYSTEMS NOT HAVING THIS OPTION NEED IT !!

Lancaster has this class
In addition to the weight training class during the school year we also have a certified Strength and conditioning coach that works with athletes after school and all summer long from grades 7-12. He developes work out programs that are sport specific for both the boys and girls athletic programs.

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME THAT OF THE SCHOOLS LISTED HERE THAT HAVE THIS TYPE OF SET UP- THE MAJORITY ARE VERY COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS THAT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS - AND WIN YEAR IN YEAR OUT.... THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT HAVE SUCH A PROGRAM IN PLACE NEED TO DEMAND IT FROM OUR ADMINISTRATION.
IT NOT ONLY HELPS THE COMPETITIVENESS BUT SHOULD ALSO HELP PREVENT INJURIES......

No unfortunately we do not at this point and it shows--- several parents and coaches have lobbied unsuccessfully for this option. the last comment i heard made was hopefully when we get moved to the new school-- but that may have been made to "buy time". in order to compete post seasonally you have to be strong with a strength program. We have to move our program to this level to put our young athletes on an equal playing field !!!

Re: HOW MANY SCHOOLS HAVE A WEIGHT LIFTING"PHYS ED CLASS"
Warren has "Athletic Fitness" and it covers a range of things including lifting. It makes a difference WHEN the kids take it seriously. We have a good instructor, and that helps. However, I don't know that this alone is sufficient for football conditioning. Our team still lifts outside of this class and it is making the biggest difference. A class like this is great for maintaining gains "in season." For example, during basketball season when there isn't a lot of time to lift, this is of benefit in maintaining strength gains achieved during the off-season.
