Does anyone use a school wide, all sport inclusive off-season program?

All school should go to this instead of fighting over kids.

I'm looking for a plan of action. Any suggestions.

I like BFS's program for a total program.

Problem is everybody has their own ideas on conditioning programs. Go to the weight lifting board on here and look at the "discussions" of different protocols.
Within every school you're going to have a volleyball coach, baseball coach, etc. that will want different exercises included because they're "specific" to their sport.
Have been down this road (trying to get everyone to do BFS after we had Greg Shepard come in and present) and was impossible to get consensus from entire staff. I guess only way you would have a chance is if a certain program was mandated from "on high" and even then cooperation may be an issue unless you had central supervision and accountability.

Getting everybody to agree is the problem. I certainly wouldn't want somebody telling me what kind of consitioning program I had to use. You could do it fairly easily with BFS by doing the sport-specific exercises during auxiliaries. There would always be somebody who wants to do it their own way, though, and I wouldn't want to tell them that they don't have that right.

We are not impressed with BFS. The program will be for the boy's program only. "Mandating from on High" will not be a problem. I'm justing looking for something that will be beneficial for the kids. We have great kids that work very hard but, we are a small school that must share our kids. Spring sports are very big and we encourage our kids to participate in them. We are not blessed with great athletes and feel that we are not putting them in the best situation to be successful. We have some kids that go from football to basketball then straight to baseball. We feel that we need to be as strong as possible to win at every sport but some of our kids are always "in Season".

Coachelliott, I can relate. I was there awhile ago. My suggestion would be to get "Strength Training and Conditioning" or "Physical Fitness" into your PE curriculum. It will take a little work on your behalf, but well-worth it. And I can also relate to why you're not impressed with BFS.

I agree with blb about getting the weightlifting offered during the school day. We are in the process of working things out here at my small school. We got 2 such classes this year and the kids have made a lot of improvement. I like a modified west side approach, but I only able to teach one of the classes. It is tough to sell and educate someone else (PE teacher) who isn't interested in learning something new.
No matter what, it will drastically improve our strength levels in the years to come.
