Reply to "HS off-season program"

When you plan on implementing strength programs, and this is especially true if they haven't been as active, please please please don't do too much too soon. That is going to be based on the individual, and there's more factors involved than just that, but as a general rule, if you do too much too soon after doing too little for too long, you have a higher chance of getting hurt. Doesn't guarantee it, but, start it off slow if possible, and gradually build up volume and intensity.

I agree. And take time to learn the lifts. If kids have never lifted before I would do about 3 months with light weights and no progression and just focus on technique. 

Ideally of course HS age hitters already have started lifting at 13-14 so they are already competent by the time they are in varsity.
