Published 7:54 am Tuesday, June 5, 2018

Austin High School will offer a weight room opportunity for girls in the district this summer. The weight room will be open from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through June and July.

The weight lifting program is designed to help all athletes build upper, core, and lower body strength. It is a four week program and at the end of four weeks, the athletes will perform a one rep max in each of the four core lifts — squat, bench, dead Lift, and hang clean. The athletes will also perform in a number of auxiliary lifts which helps them develop muscle for any sport.

There is no cost for this program and it is for girls going into grade eight and up.  No registration is needed.
