Team Week: July 31st – August 4th, 2023
In this week before tryouts for the 2023 fall season, we will have team-building activities each day, Monday through Friday. For each event, we will meet at the school at the designated time, and carpool from there. Parents are responsible for providing or approving transportation for your students (coaches are not responsible for transportation). Players must be enrolled at GMHS for the 2023/2024 school year, and have completed all athletics registration steps, in order to participate in Team Week. The Green Mountain Athletics Registration page will be linked here when registration for the fall of 2023 opens.
Monday, July 31st, 8am – Before Noon – Red Rocks Workout: We will leave from the GMHS parking lot at 8am for a three-part workout at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (we will break up the stairs work with some core strength training). Parents are welcome to join us.
Tuesday, August 1st, 8am – Early Afternoon – Manitou Incline: We will leave from the parking lot at GMHS and head south at 8am. We will climb the stairs in Manitou, then take the switchbacks of the forest trail to come back down. Parents are needed to get the boys to Manitou Springs, and welcome to join us on the hike.
Wednesday, August 2nd, 1pm – 3pm – Yoga and 3v3 Soccer: Our bodies will appreciate the stretching and active meditation of yoga after two tough workouts to start the week. Our yoga instructor, Lisa, is fabulous, and really connects well with athletes. Please bring $5 to pay our instructor, and parents are encouraged to participate as well! After yoga, we will have a little 3v3 soccer tournament on the turf field.
Thursday, August 3rd, 2:00pm – 4:30pm – Soccer Golf: We will depart from the GHMS parking lot at 2pm for Washington Park where we can spread out and play soccer golf. We should be back at the school with a 2023 soccer golf champion around 4:30pm. Parent support with transportation will be greatly appreciated.
***Please run three miles Thursday morning on your own. Push for your best time of the summer. This should be your last strenuous cardio before tryouts so you can excell at the fitness tests.***
Friday, August 4th, 8am – Before Noon – Sand Soccer and Swimming: We will leave from the GMHS parking lot at 8am for Bear Creek Lake Park at 8am ($10 per car entry fee). We will play sand soccer until we are ready to cool off in the lake. We will need parents to drive and celebrate the end of team week with us!
