What kind of time do you get to have in the weight room with your team? We have a weightlifting class the last period of the day where all the football players are in it. We have heard of other schools that do weightlifting classes all day long and then some don't have one at all and have to lift before/after school. What's your set up?

We have a weightlifting class for football in the middle of the day. Our juniors-to-be and seniors-to-be are in it. We have set workout program for them by backs/receivers and line. If they don't get their workout in during class (most will have about 10-15 reps left) then they come in after school and finish. Our kids are pretty motivated to do it.

We have 3 weight training/conditioning classes (4 if you count JH Athletic period, where we lift starting after basketball). All football players are in, but not at the same time. We have 0 hour, which is mostly JR and SR, 1st Hr. which is mostly Fr and Soph., and then I have one in the afternoon that has 3 FB players. We are a small school (enrollment about 75), so for our level this is a good set up. We are one of a handful of schools that have weights classes at all in our classification.

Blutarsky - I have heard others say they have ZERO HOUR. I am not familiar with the term used. Do you mean you have a group that comes in before school?
Thanks.

Zero period is just an early class period that starts before the regular school day. Some high schools have a larger zero period schedule than others. The school that I work at has have of the students/staff on zero through 5 period schedules, the other half are on 1-6 period schedules. In other schools, only a few classes are offered at this time, like student government, weights, or band.
If the normal class day starts at 8:15 am, zero period is a class time that is offered at 7:15 and is over at 8:10 for the kids to make it to their next class.

for an ignorantrookie... he's pretty sharp (well above my 0.0 gpa). Our school schedule is pretty much just like his, but we only have a few 0 hour classes. It is a regular class-just like any other hour (attendance taken, credit for class, etc.). I couldn't get all football players in weights without it (we also have a 0 hour math and social studies class as well).

We have a weightlifting class 4th period with most of our football players in it. Than we do an after school session for upcoming freshmen and others we couldn't get in the weightroom 4th period.

We have a zero hour that is required for all varsity players- with few exceptions (some have seminary and cannot make it everyday). We have 3 additional sections through out the day to get all our younger kids in- basically no matter their schedule they can get the class if they want to be there. The weight room is also open for a short time after school if a kid has to finish up or missed for some reason (dentist appointment during the day etc).

The best setup for weightlifting was at the first school I taught and coached. All students had the option of taking "fitness" PE which meant that instead of being in the gym, you went to the weightroom and participated in the Bigger, Faster, Stronger Program. Again, open to all students, but of course ALL of our players enrolled. The best advantage of this was players could lift in-season during the school day. Out of season, the players remained enrolled in this class and we brought them in after school for about a half hour worth of plyometrics and agility training. Haven't had this at the past couple schools and I now know how good and convenient it is!

We have athletic wt training for physical education...any athlete may enroll(including female athletes)...two no dresses and you fail this class...the athletes are graded on participation and increase in maxes...if an athlete quits a sport, they are dropped...we lift everyday(including gamedays...just go lighter)...we've had this class for over 15 years & it's been a godsend to our program....We are a larger school and I didn't see many of our players during the school day..now they see myself or my assistant every day... we still have the wt room open before/after school, but I can spend time working with the freshmen(this class is not open to them), because I know that the other athletes have already lifted their core lifts..I highly encourage everyone to try the athletic wt class
