Panthers In Training (PIT) is underway!
This week, our 5th and 6th graders officially began PIT — Panthers In Training! PIT is our pre-athletic program designed to help prepare students for the expectations, routines, and physical demands of middle school athletics.
5th Grade: Tuesdays & Thursdays for 1 hour
6th Grade: Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays for 1 hour
Students are provided school-issued workout uniforms, which will remain at school and be washed after each workout. Parents do not need to worry about sending or washing PIT clothes!
👟 The only thing students need to remember is to wear tennis shoes on their PIT days.
We’re excited to give our future Panther athletes an opportunity to build strength, endurance, teamwork, discipline, and confidence before they enter middle school athletics.
