Hello 2025 EHS FH Players & Families!

We look forward to the upcoming Fall season. Below is important information all players and families should know. Please read through all items below:

1) We will have both a Varsity and JV team this Fall

  • Full 16-game EHS FH schedule for both Varsity and JV

  • Anticipating two strong & competitive teams

  • New coaches will be added to the EHS FH coaching staff (we will provide more information on coaching staff as we finalize new hires)

  • SPECIAL NOTE PERTAINING TO MARCHING BAND: Each year, SEVERAL marching band participants are also in our EHS FH program. We work hard to avoid Saturday games so that players who also do Marching Band have minimal stress on their Saturday competition days. Our coaches work closely with Mr. Hoffman to make sure he knows our FH schedule and which students do BOTH FH and Marching Band. EHS FH always has a good working relationship with Mr. Hoffman and the Lancer Marching Band.

2) Families can register players for EHS FH starting on July 18

  • Online registration for Fall sports begins on July 18

3) Our early morning summer FH workouts are FREE & Strongly Recommended for anyone planning to play FH this Fall

Players are strongly encouraged to join us every Tu/Th they are in town and available this summer.

We have MANY early morning Tu/Th workouts remaining prior to preseason (our last summer workout is Thursday 8/14). That is PLENTY OF TIME to prep for the FH season! PLEASE join us whenever you are in town and available!!

  • We meet Tu/Th mornings at EHS stadium

  • Players arrive between 7:15-7:25am.

  • We start promptly at 7:30am (NOTE: We choose to do these workouts in the early morning when temps are cooler.)

  • Parent pickup between 11:15-11:30am

  • We are on turf 7:30-10am… Break 10-10:30… Indoor strength workout 10:30-11:15

These workouts give players the opportunity to:

  • Complete the FH summer running program with teammates. (Perhaps THE most important thing players can do to prep for the Fall FH season is to complete our summer running program!)

  • Work on stick skills and hits in a no-stress environment so that players are “ready-to-go” with individual skills once the season starts.

  • Scrimmage with teammates and new EHS FH players.

  • Complete our FH body weight strength workouts that help make our players stronger and more athletic (and ALSO help reduce than chance of player injuries).

  • Acclimate to the heat. All of our summer early morning turf time helps players to gradually get used to rigorous FH team workouts in the hot summer and early fall temperatures we have been experiencing in recent years. Being acclimated to the heat PRIOR to the start of preseason is very important.

4) Players who cannot join us for our early morning Tu/Th workouts at EHS should be doing running, stick skills and strength training on their own.

  • It is our hope that EHS FH players/families understand the importance of arriving at preseason fit and ready to go! (Doing this work at least 2x per week over the summer makes preseason so much easier for players.)

  • Our FREE early morning Tu/Th workouts provide an excellent oportunity for players to prep for the season.

  • Players who are unable to join us for summer workouts can follow the online workout instructions we have assembled on our team website. Players should try to complete the workouts 2-3 times per week… EVERY week.

  • We practice 7:30-11:30am Monday through Saturday the first week and part of the second week.

  • Preseason practices are mandatory (obvious exception for 9th graders on Freshman Orientation Day)

  • Players need to complete 6 practices in order participate in a scrimmage or game.
