Summer Strength and Conditioning Sessions Begin Monday, June 2, 2025

Dear East Grand Rapids Middle and High School Families,

In an effort to ensure that all of our families received the summer strength and conditioning information, I wanted to take a moment to share the opportunities students at East Grand Rapids Middle and High Schools have to be active this summer.

We are excited to continue to contract with PowerStrength Training Systems, a locally owned and operated company, to facilitate our strength and conditioning program during the upcoming summer. Student-athletes who have attended the PowerStrength sessions over the past three years have seen great growth physically and mentally from the training.

PowerStrength has developed a program to fit the needs of all of our athletes and caters the training to ensure that our athletes are improving in every measurable aspect while prioritizing injury prevention.  During this summer, PowerStrength will be accessible to all East Grand Rapids students that are entering 7th-12th grade. Each session integrates a warm-up, speed training, agility work, and strength training. The training sessions utilize both Memorial Field and our fitness center.  

Students who are interested in participating in this program should report to the high school athletic entrance lobby (Door 21 near the north end of Memorial Field) prior to their scheduled session.  If a student is a multisport athlete, please consult with your coaches or Will Vander Ark (Site Leader) to determine which session you should attend. PowerStrength Summer Conditioning schedule is as follows:

If your student-athlete has not done so already, please register for these sessions here.  If you have any questions about the program, please contact Will Vander Ark Site Leader or Director of Athletics Chris Zylstra.

We are looking forward to a great summer of growth and development.  

Sincerely,

Chris Zylstra

Director of Athletics
