The Lightning Football Team has been hitting on all cylinders in the weight room since June 10.  Under the continued supervision of Troy Swanson and the added expertise of Shannon Rainey the players have been completing comprehensive workouts 3 days per week.  Coach Rainey is a new addtion as EVHS enters a partnership with TCO - healthcare provider for the Minnesota Vikings.  Coach Rainey will continue to work with all EVHS student athletes throughout the school year.  He has brought a wealth of knowledge to augment an already quality physical development program.  Rising seniors/juniors work out from 7:00 am - 8:30 am, followed by a sophomore/freshman group form 8:00 am - 9:30 am.  These workouts are completed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with each day having a different focus.  Each workout targets specific muscle groups and always includes core strengthening activities.  The goal of the program is to increase each athlete's functional strength.  If you have missed out on this opportunity you are encouraged to visit the weight room on any Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday during workout hours after July 8.  All female athletes also mirror the same physical development activities at 9:00 am - 10:30 am on the same corresponding days.
