Week 2 ✅

This week was all about building stronger athletes and stronger teammates. We put in work in the weight room, focused on plyometrics, and emphasized injury prevention to keep us healthy and explosive throughout the season.

In the classroom, we kicked off our Hunt Series. We learned about our foundation of We Over Me, the importance of discipline lead by one our rising seniors, Layla (who did a great job!), and how positive body language and intention behind encouragement can create momentum and help us win the close matches when it matters most.

Getting a little better every day. Excited to keep building confidence, trust, and connection as we continue to chase our goals this summer. 🦁🏐

Week 1 ✅

We kicked off our summer by hosting our annual Lil Lions Camp for 3rd–8th graders. It was awesome to see so much improvement, competitiveness, and love for the game throughout the week.

After camp, we got right to work with our first team workout and classroom session, laying the foundation for who we want to be and establishing the standards we’ll hold ourselves to all season long. 🏋🏼‍♀️

We also got to cheer on our softballs girls as they headed to Peoria for the State Tournament. We had no doubt they would , and that’s EXACTLY what they did!! CONGRATS we are all so proud of you!! 🎉

Now it’s time to get gritty. The work starts here, and every rep, workout, and practice this summer is focused on one goal: earning our spot in the playoffs come November. 🦁🏐
