Summer Workouts

[El Paso Eagle]

During the summer, for the players who stay in Denton, what involvement can the coaches and trainers have? Do the players have access to all of the training equipment?

Thanks

They have access to everything, but the only "coach" that can tell them what to do is the strength and conditioning coach. That is why most programs now consider them the second most important person in the program.

The S&C coaches are the only coaches that are allowed to "coach" during the summer.  There is also organized/scheduled/mandatory training sessions.  You will also find that there are "organized" ( by the QBs) 7 vs 7 games almost daily.  

College football is a year round job now days.

Thanks.

What percent of players usually stay for the summer? Can incoming Freshmen and Transfers participate?

Interesting articles about how the importance of the S&C Coach and how much the head coach trusts them.

75 to 80% plus.  Transfers: If they are enrolled in school yes.  Incoming freshman have their own program to report to before two a days start. They are not integrated into the rest of the team until fall work outs.    They spend that time learning the training "system". Lots of kids show up not knowing how to train properly.

We have seen some of the recent signees say they will be moving in on July 1. 

Im assuming they will be enrolling in Summer classes, which could then allow them to partake in these off-season program?

Yes. But, I am only speaking from past experience and how they are handled at other schools, most newbies/transfers train in a group separate from the exiting team.
