Never has exhaustion felt so good

High school fall sports teams from throughout the state returned to campus Monday for a period of conditioning-only workouts.

The GHSA gave permission a few weeks ago to fall sports teams to spend time on conditioning, because so many athletes had been away from school and springtime conditioning as well as spring sports.

High school sports basically shut down in mid-March, and athletes have been on their own to stay in shape, and do so basically by themselves.

Some Central Georgia football programs got going on the first day, like FPD, Stratford, Dodge County, Lamar County, Washington County, Bleckley County, Northside, among others.

Other schools will get going during this week – GHSA Class AA champ Dublin begins on Wednesday - or start up next week, like several Bibb County programs.

next week.

Groups are limited to 20, including a coach, and groups must stay intact throughout the full conditioning schedule. There can’t be one group inside and another outside at the same time.

Many metro Atlanta schools got going on Monday inside and outside, players pushed by suddenly humid weather.

GISA program have already returned to workouts.

The Sports Report will have more on some Central Georgia teams later in the week.
