Every season usually begins with indoor practices and classroom sessions to begin playbook installations.
The sessions will be broken out for positional groups and time will be dedicated to review game film and introduce schemes and plays that will be installed in the 2026 season. The virtual meetings will be an important tool for our coaches to connect with our athletes and provide instructional time, while building a strong relationship with all players—an aspect of our program that we prioritize.
