Preseason 2023
Dear Parents and Student/Athletes,
I want to take this opportunity to provide information on our preseason athletic program. The preseason athletic program is by invitation only for experienced student/athletes in forms III-VI in field hockey, football, boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, boys' golf, boys' and girls' cross country and girls' volleyball. Students who return for preseason have prepared for the physical demands of 2-3 practices each day by following the workout program located in the athletic section of the Abbey website.
Preseason is short and intense and physical preparation is the key for individual and team success. If you have any questions about the preseason athletic program, do not hesitate to contact me.
