Please note: You receive the prep guidelines via email. You do the conditioning on your own. You will know whether or not you do it!

All-Sports Now Open for Younger Athletes

After many years offering a conditioning program in Andover for elementary school age athletes, we are bringing the program to the North Shore.

Boys and girls age 6 and older may register for the GTD All-Sports Speed & Conditioning program. The younger age group is in addition to the older groups -- 10 to 12, 13 to 15, and 16 and older.

As with all the age groups, the group that works best for you depends on your ability to handle more conditioning work. For example, if an 8 or 9 year old wants to "move up" to the next group, we welcome it.

Days, time, location and fee for the new "6 and over" group will be the same as for the other groups:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, beginning July 9 and continuing until August 17
9 to 10:30am
Location -- Peabody High School
Fee -- $160

Registration available at this link.
