Off-Season Conditioning Workouts

The HGCS Athletic Department is offering off-season conditioning workouts for ALL athletes grades 6th-12th not involved in a spring sport.

Coach Pondo has coordinated and led these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start January 3, 2017, Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00p.m. The program he follows is the nationally recognized “Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)” program. This program is used by most high schools and small colleges/universities in the country. It is a great program for ALL athletes in all sports. Athletes must have a current physical on file with Athletic Trainer in order to participate.

The off-season is the time for you to improve as an individual. It is our hope that ALL will take advantage of this program. This program is free of charge, convenient, and it WORKS!

Please contact Coach Pondo with any concerns or questions. Also, please see the attached information regarding instructions.

Online Athletic Calendar

Beginning this school year, the Athletic Department will no longer use Schedule Star. We are currently transitioning to Google Calendar for our athletic schedule. This will allow our schedule to be more compatible with our school's academic calendar and website, and it will be more mobile-friendly for our students and parents. To access the athletic schedule, please visit the Athletics page of the school website and click on the "Athletics Calendar" link on the left side of the page. On this page, you will see the Athletic Events Calendar at the top. This calendar will show all sports teams, meetings, and Athletic Department events by default. To narrow this down to specific teams, click on the drop-down menu arrow in the top right corner of the calendar and check or uncheck whichever teams you prefer. Additionally, there is a Practice Calendar below the Athletic Events Calendar on the same page. This calendar will show scheduled practice times for all teams by default, but can also be narrowed down to specific teams. You can add either of these calendars from the website to your own personal calendar on your computer or mobile device by clicking "+GoogleCalendar" at the bottom of the calendar. You can view additional details about each game/event, such as start/end times, locations, dismissal times, etc., by clicking on the game/event title.
