MMHS Pre-Season Training Email

Ladies,

With the holiday season approaching, the MMHS softball pre-season training will start shortly. Unfortunately with COVID cases being high we are unable to train until January. In the meantime there will be at home workouts leading up to our in person training in January. I do understand that most of you do not have access to softball nets, balls, and necessary equipment to keep your swings moving during the winter season. So as a solution we will be doing at home workouts to get us ready and keep us moving until we can come together again. Workouts will start the 3rd week of November and I have added some links for the equipment that you will need to get started. I highly recommend getting online and placing your order to give yourself enough time to be prepared to start our training sessions. If you are currently going to the gym, these workouts can be completed that way as well.

Here are the workout bands you will need to get started:

If the lowest band weight at 10lbs is too heavy for you, you can work up to this and I do recommend buying a 5lb resistance band and have added a link below.

If you already have resistance bands at home then you are more than welcome to use what you already have. You are also welcome to shop for your own workout bands if you like. You will need a minimum resistance weight of 10lbs.

Workouts will be sent through this group email alongside a link to a workout log you will need to print off and track your workouts. This workout log will need a parent's final sign off, this is not to make parents babysitters but to encourage athlete accountability. If you do not have an Instagram account I will be sending an email outline of what the schedule, workouts, and expectations will be. I will also be communicating through Instagram to keep everyone informed.

You will be asked to keep your resistance bands on you during the softball season and we will be using them throughout the season. 

At this time you will need to complete these workouts individually and not in groups due to the COVID restrictions that we are currently under. I think that if we can stay compliant through our training and season we can keep everyone safe, healthy and keep our season from getting interrupted. 

I am extremely hopeful that we will get to have a season this year. Myself and the coaching staff are very excited to get things rolling. Our goal as a coaching staff is to make sure all of the athletes have fun, work hard, and come together as a team to have the best season possible.

Please respond to this email if you have questions regarding the upcoming pre-season training. 

Go Eagles!
