At the University of Dayton we have 2 six week summer sessions that our student athletes attend.  While they are here on campus they have the opportunity to improve their conditioning both individually and collectively.  Staying in great shape during the off season allows for our student athletes to really hit the ground running when they return to classes in the fall.  ... read more

October 16 marked the official start of the practice season and we hit the ground running.  We return 10 of our top 11 scorers from last season's team and our guys are excited for the season to come.  This year's team has seven seniors.  All of which have really done a great job of help building our program.  Each of the individually has left a footprint on the identity... read more

This morning prior to our 6am lift with our players we go through a number of different plyometric stretches to get our guys ready to attack the weight room. We form 2 lines under the basket with the captains leading the way. We want to make sure our guys elevate their heart rate and body tempature prior to entering the weight room. Our warm up lasts for about 10 minutes and consists of the... read more
