Two Indiana high school football products in first round: Westfield's Dillon Thieneman to the Bears at No. 25 and Lawrence North's Omar Cooper Jr. to Jets at No. 30.
Handed out our summer schedule for 2026. Here’s what in it:
7 Practices
75 Minutes/Practice
June: 3
July: 4
4 Scrimmages
June: 1
July: 3
Lift Schedule
Tues: Sprint/Squat
Wed: COD/Bench
Thur: Sprint/Clean
90 Mins/Day
All Fridays: OFF
All Saturdays: OFF (Minus 1 in June for Colts 11on11)
All Mondays: OFF (Last 5 Mondays of summer are moratorium days)
✅Guaranteed 4 day weekend for kids to have a summer
➡️Days with practice, kids are here from 3:30pm-6:30pm
➡️Days without practice, kids are here from 8:30am-10:00am
➡️Scrimmages all kids get reps, our younger players tend to get more than varsity returners for development
Multiple kids have already come up to let me know they won’t be at certain days for other things. My response: “Thanks for letting me know, reminder though summer is not mandatory and don’t let a coach tell you it is, it’s here to benefit the program. Show up when you can.”
‼️Reminder: NO PART OF THE SUMMER IS A SPECIFIC SPORTS MONTH AND NO PART OF SUMMER IS MANDATORY. The more you do is not better. Less is a better approach. Be fast and be efficient. Be mindful of the kids time because they just spent 182 days at the school.
Since moving to this type of summer: Our program is 37-12. Yes we’ve had some great talent come through, but our players are happy and healthy through the seasons and buy into our process of why we do what we do.
For our football program, we do not touch a football from our last snap of the season until summer time. Strictly weight room/Sprint emphasis.
✅Happy & healthy kids in your program = RESULTS.
