Strength and Conditioning -2020-21 School Year +

Strength and Conditioning is a year-round program designed to support Oriole athletes both in and off-season. This program is a complement to an athlete’s sport skill training and specifically targets growth in the areas of strength, speed, agility, mobility and injury prevention. The program is carefully coached to keep all athletes safe while they work toward achieving their athletic goals.

We will be working hard this summer on a healthy return-to-play program that will help prevent injuries related to being out of sport during quarantine. This researched based approach will prepare athletes to return to sport in the safest way possible while under the supervision of coaches and in consultation with athletic training staff. Workloads will be carefully monitored and progressed appropriately for our current situation.

Scheduling

For athletes entering grades 9-12, in-person summer practices will be held at the high school Monday through Thursday with several time slots available. There will also be an online practice option available to those who don’t feel comfortable attending in-person or can’t make in-person sessions.

We are planning for a June 15th start date, but please keep an eye out for email updates or join us on social media (IG & Twitter: @slplift, Facebook: St Louis Park Strength and Conditioning).

Practices during the school year are held Monday through Thursday after school from 3:30-4:45.

Due to social distancing guidelines, we are not able to accommodate middle school athletes for the summer program. These changes have significantly decreased our capacity and we are currently prioritizing our high school athletes. If your athlete is entering grade 6-8, please send an email to Coach Gust (gust.jessica@slpschools.org) and you will be added to the list to receive updates about any changes related to grades 6-8. We are hoping to include them starting in the fall, depending on updated mandates.

COVID-19 Policies and Expectations

This summer, we will be implementing changes based on the most recent guidelines related to COVID-19. Please know that while some of these changes may appear inconvenient, it is of the utmost importance that we strictly follow the guidelines in order to continue to operate.

Please read all of these guidelines carefully. Unfortunately, there is not currently any flexibility around these guidelines. We will update them as needed based on any changes we are made aware of. If the guidelines change, you will receive an email with updates.

Here are the guidelines and expectations for athletes and parents:

1. Athletes MUST register for a specific session and MAY NOT work out with a group other than their assigned group.

2. Athletes MUST leave all personal items at home or in their cars. Locker rooms will not be available and personal items will not be allowed in training areas.

3. Athletes MUST complete the health check-in process and apply hand sanitizer every day prior to entering the training area. If requirements are not met, the athlete MAY NOT workout.

4. Athletes are encouraged to wear face masks for the duration of their time inside the school. Face masks are not needed while training outside. The school will not have masks available for use. Please provide your own mask, bandana or other appropriate face covering.

5. Athletes MUST bring their own filled water bottle. Drinking fountains will not be available. Sharing of water bottles is strictly prohibited.

6. Athletes MUST maintain proper social distancing in all training situations.

7. Athletes MUST refrain from sharing/touching/passing any equipment between people. All used equipment must be placed in the appropriate location for sanitization at the end of practice.

8. Athletes should apply hand sanitizer or wash hands upon leaving the training area and prior to leaving the school.

9. Athletes MUST leave school immediately upon completion of their training. Congregating inside or outside the school is prohibited.

10. Parents MUST immediately report any COVID-19 symptoms occurring in their household to the Athletic Director, Andy Ewald. Email: ewald.andrew@slpschools.org Phone: 952-928-6118

Here are the things you can expect from us:

1. Practices will be planned and organized to allow social distancing of 6 feet or greater. When possible, workouts will be held outside to allow more space for each athlete.

2. Groups will be built using a 9:1 athlete to coach ratio in order to keep a close eye on athletes and give them friendly reminders to stay apart.

3. Athletes will remain with the same group each day to limit their exposure to others.

4. If for any reason proper social distancing cannot be maintained, practice will be canceled. We don’t anticipate this happening and do have plans in place for inclement weather.

5.All equipment will be sanitized at the beginning of the day, between training groups and at the end of the day using approved disinfectants. For the time being, athletes will not be sharing any equipment during practice.

6. We will do our best to minimize contact between arriving and departing groups by having departing athletes leave through the back door of the weight room.

7. Coaches will be tracking attendance and health check-in data in order to properly notify families of athletes in the event they have been exposed to people who display symptoms of COVID-19. Your personal data will only be accessible to the S&C coaches, athletic trainer and athletic director.

Registration and Fees

Registration for the program is a yearly fee and will cover participation from June 2020 through May 2021. The program is priced to be roughly equal to the fee for one season of sport participation. As a result, fees are not prorated at any time during the year. Please contact Athletic Director Andy Ewald for any fee related questions (ewald.andrew@slpschools.org).

Upon completion of your registration, you will receive an email from Coach Gust (gust.jessica@slpschools.org) containing a few questions to help us place athletes into training groups. When possible, we’ll place athletes with teammates. Once athletes are placed, you will receive a second email confirming their practice time and containing other pertinent information. Again, athletes must attend their specific scheduled practice time. This is a big change from previous years.

Registration refunds will only be issued within two weeks of the first summer practice or 2 weeks of the athlete's registration date. Please contact the athletic office to begin the refund process.
