Bearden Football Lift-A-Thon

GOAL To install a new weight room floor in the JSAC Weight Room To raise enough money to get every player a pair of team NIKE tennis shoes and two pairs of matching NIKE socks. To improve the current state, cleanliness, & functionality of our weight room.

WHY?! Why?: The weight room has a direct correlation with a team’s performance & player safety on the field. Because of this we spend more time in the weight room as a team than anywhere else. Annually we spend about 42 out of 52 weeks in the weight room. Why?: Maximize space to improve safety and make the weight room more Dynamic. Why?: To reduce the annual amount budgeted to replacement broken weights, dumbbells, etc. in the weight room Why?: Weight room replacements cost each year ranges between $3k-$5k Why?: Uniformity, every player will have matching shirt, shorts, shoes, & socks for practice & workouts. .
