With summer just weeks away, the Olympia football team is already beginning to prepare for their upcoming season. Weightlifting had already begun, and camps and practices are in the near future for the Spartan players.
Currently the weight room is open to those who would like to pump some iron and will continue to be open throughout the summer. For the remainder of the school year, players or if your just thinking about playing next year have the option to lift in the morning or after school. It opens at 7am and also after school. For the summer scheduled, starting June 9th, the facility is available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. If you’re a morning person you have the opportunity to lift from 7-9 am, and for those who are not it is also open from 4-6 p.m.
As well as lifting in the summer, there are four different camps players are going to this year. One being the “Down and Dirty Lineman Camp” that will go through June 6-8. Another camp for lineman is the “Midwest Lineman Camp” which will be on June 15th going through the 18th. Also from June 25-28 will be the Bishop-Dullaghan Skills Camp. Finally the Olympia Football Camp will be July 21-25 and July 28-31. If you have any questions regarding any of the camps, feel free to contact Coach Koeppel.
Summer always seems to fly by and once these football activities get underway, the team will already be looking forward to their first game which is on August 29 at Pontiac.
If you want to be part of a very passionate team with a lot of heart, or maybe you just know someone who might be interesting in being a Spartan football player, give one of these many summer opportunities a try.
