Golf Tournament
The HGCS AAA Booster Club is excited to announce that the 20th Annual Golf Tournament will be held at Pine Lake Country Club on April 29, 2019. Over the years, our golf tournament has proven to be a great success and has contributed to many enhancements to the school’s programs. Recently, we were able to provide funding for improvements to the school’s softball field which included a new press box, concrete sidewalks, and additional bleachers. This was only possible through the contributions of our generous sponsors.

This year, our tournament goal is to raise $35,000 which will provide funding to establish a STEM lab for the school. The STEM lab is being designed to include Vex Robotics, 3D printers, model design, and building materials as well as movable furniture to allow flexible room arrangements. In order to meet this goal, we look forward to working with our participants and sponsors to make this milestone golf tournament a success!

Off-Season Workouts for All Athletes

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

Coach Pondo has been doing these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start Wednesday, January 3, 2018 and will be held Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00pm. The program Coach Pondo follows is the nationally recognized "Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)" program, which 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 the 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 (mikepondo@hgchristian.org) with any concerns or questions. Also, please review Google Doc in the following link for additional information and instructions:
