Strength & Conditioning Center (Field House) in the Works!
The Bulldog Blitz continues its mission to improve the football program by pursing the building of a Strength and Conditioning Center similar to what other teams have available to them. The plans have been drawn up and the school has given the okay to go foward! Now we need your help to make it a reality!  The building would include an expanded weight room area with room for treadmills and similar cardiovascular machines, trainer's room (where the trainer and the player can fit in it at the same time), as well as lockers, individual showers,  & fast track area to work on quickness.
