(CR News) - Spring ball for football has just begun. Spring ball includes 10 padded practices and gives the team the opportunity to get preseason reps in after the past off-season. The team splits between offense and defense at practices to get reps for the different positions that the players play. Even with the new head coach, Dewayne Patterson, taking over for Brett Smedley, the culture of the football team, Mr. Patterson wants it to stay the same.
As of now, the team continues on in spring ball, which will prepare them for summer workouts, which will help them prepare for the regular season. Dewayne Patterson is “excited” for the first regular season game, with the hope that all of the work they are putting in right now will amount to a successful season._____________________________________
(CR News) - Spring ball for football has just begun. Spring ball includes 10 padded practices and gives the team the opportunity to get preseason reps in after the past off-season. The team splits between offense and defense at practices to get reps for the different positions that the players play. Even with the new head coach, Dewayne Patterson, taking over for Brett Smedley, the culture of the football team, Mr. Patterson wants it to stay the same.
However, he wants to make the team more explosive and dynamic, in the hope that it can lead the team to more wins, and hopefully a playoff push.
Though to make this push, it is important to have these pre-season practices. Dewayne Patterson is grateful for the spring ball practices because “a lot of states don’t get a real spring ball” (Dewayne Patterson), and it helps the team get back into the feel of playing football with pads.
Then even after the spring ball mini pre-season, summer workouts begin which primarily focus on getting the team into shape both physically and mentally, while having 10 practices as well. The summer workouts mainly consist of weightlifting, cardio, and playing ball.
As of now, the team continues on in spring ball, which will prepare them for summer workouts, which will help them prepare for the regular season. Dewayne Patterson is “excited” for the first regular season game, with the hope that all of the work they are putting in right now will amount to a successful season._____________________________________
