Offseason Conditioning Offered This Summer 2024

For Junior Wildcats who would like to get in shape over the summer for the upcoming season, varsity HC Mike Nash has an open invite for Junior Wildcats to condition with the high school players. Conditioning for Junior Wildcats will likely begin June 10 at Dunwoody HS and goes  from 9am-12pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is a great opportunity for our Junior players to get to know Coach Nash, his coaches, and the high school players, but is not mandatory. You can email Coach Nash at dunwoodyfootball15@gmail.com for more information as June approaches. We suggest that your son drink half his body weight in fluid ounces of water every day during the summer and bring his own water to conditioning.

Registrants will receive more information closer to June.
