Back to hs....

Related to Gapfinder's question... I'm curious what other high school programs do from now up through Feb. My son is a freshman, so we're a little new to a regimented year-round plan.

Right now, the guys have been told to put away the gloves and bats. They just finished their fall-ball season. For the next 4 months they have a conditioning coach working with them on running and core strength. I know the hs has plyometrics alternating with weight workouts starting in Dec. That's all I know so far. I do wonder when they start hitting again, and, pitchers in particular, throwing. I think it too is in Dec., after plyo etc each afternoon.

What are your hs boys doing? (those that don't play basketball)

EH --
He has been doing core and agility training with a group outside of school, while the growth plate in his elbow closes up. He will do school plyo and core work outs, as well as run with them twice a week. Also plans to run on his own 2 - 3 times a week. (Which is amazing -- he hates running, but realizes he has to.) So, I guess my question would be, when should he start throwing or pitching? Assuming he gets the okay from doc soon.
Thanks for your input.

Your son should be working outside of what the HS does.


I definitely agree with theEH. We have a new coach so I really don't know what the "official" program is going to be, but we're not waiting. We've got one more tournament with the fall travel team, then I think they are going to have informal practices through the rest of the year in which my 2B will most likely participate. The HS team is supposed to start lifting when the football season is over (mid-Nov), but he lifts on his own anyway. We work with a hitting instructor once a week, hitting and fielding most days for an hour or so after work (unless he gives me a day off), and are going to a couple of winter camps. We'll find a couple of weeks in there where he'll not throw at all to rest his arm, then I assume HS conditioning starts in January. Our tryouts will be in mid-January, with a preseason tournament in early Feb. Gotta love Florida!
