Policies and Procedures

Primarily, training for Lawrenceville student-athletes will take place in the Al Rashid Strength and Conditioning Center, and will be conducted by the Head and Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coaches. Each team’s respective coaches are requested to attend lifting sessions for support, and to ensure team/individual attendance. Occasionally, manual resistance and/or speed and footwork sessions will be conducted on the team’s respective venue. Teams will be assigned to train during specific half-hour time slots. Each student athlete is expected to attend the team session, or, (in special cases, etc.) a pre-arranged individual time. The following are rules that must be adhered to concerning training:

1. Only members of Lawrenceville school community are permitted to use the Al Rashid Strength and Conditioning Center.
2. One of the two strength and conditioning coaches must be present at all times for student-athletes or faculty/staff to enter/use the fitness center.
