Open Gym

My DD attends a school in SW Ohio. The school has a good D1 program. Last season they were district champions and they return most of their starters. They haven't started open gyms. Have most schools already started?

SW Ohio HS has Sunday open gyms, started last Sunday from 1-4pm. This group fully supports the entire FP community and encourages 6th-8th graders to come also as they understand the importance of providing the feeder schools their support.

Some schools in southeast IN. started this week. I heard we would have started earlier but gym time is at a premium.

My DD's high school program has had open field twice a week which started in September and will go until the snow flies. Conditioning will start in January. Great to keep the kinks out.
