how many of your baseball players have to go through a track workout before going to baseball practice?

Hey Bull ~ You better pose that question to parents because there aren't many coaches that will touch it. Job security. Lets shorten it to Varsity Baseball Players and add Off-Season Football along with that Track workout. SouthLake and Denton Ryan Don't and they win a few football games as well as baseball games. MTC
No Track in Keller.
Baseball only at Marcus.
Baseball at Northwest, if you want to do
track you go into school early.
track you go into school early.
skysthelimit is correct about the baseball/track deal at Northwest, but if you played football in the fall, you are required to stay in football off-season, even if you run track or play baseball.
My son played FB and BB last year. During BB season, he had to lift weights in FB off-season every day, even if he was going to be pitching that night. Needless to say, that lasted one year and he is BB full time now! When will these BB coaches put their foot down and not allow this kind of thing to happen? At least not lift the day someone is going to be pitching. It's a travesty!!! I bet a FB coach wouldn't allow a FB/BB player to pitch 7 innings the day of a FB game!!

OP, I totally agree and young T-Bird decided to play baseball only starting this fall.
It is pretty hard for the Baseball Coach to
put his foot down when the AD us usually the
Head Football Coach

the reason i posted this is that i am a former college head coach as well as AAAAA and AAAA.
I am now at a AA school with a new AD and he makes them lift at 7:00am, during the athletic period, and do a sprinters workout after school
before they can come to baseball practice, and
he says he is for all sports.........right!
small towns are great to live and play in but don't ever bring an athlete to them.
one thing i do know, however, is that what goes around comes around.

sounds like a certain JUCO school I've heard of in Seminole Oklahoma
...... but add "being shook awake @2:00a.m. and told to go pull the tarp over the baseball field in the middle of an Oklahoma rain/wind/hail/thunder/lightning storm"
(as the Mastercard commercial says = priceless!!)
