As part of the Junior Spartan experience, 3rd thru 8th grade boys have the opportunity to participate in skills training (1) night per week. Zach TeWinkel and Karlo Kovacic will once again be providing the training during these sessions. We are grateful for the time they are volunteering to the program so that every player has the opportunity for additional skill improvement.

Strength and Conditioning Sessions
As part of the Junior Spartan experience, 7th and 8th grade boys are scheduled for strength and conditioning sessions. Our goal is to use these sessions to introduce them to the foundational skills related to lifting weights and athletic performance. These sessions are part of the experience and should be treated as mandatory practice sessions.

| 7th Grade | Tuesdays & Thursdays @ Brookfield East HS | 5:45-6:45 pm |
| 8th Grade | Tuesdays & Thursdays @ Brookfield East HS | 5:45-6:45 pm |
