I would say everyone agrees that those who are multi-sport athletes are an exception to the mandatory program. Basketball ends in February, Baseball in May. There is still plenty of time for those kids to be part of the weight training program.

Oh, I agree. But I know there are schools/coaches out there that insist that kids lift no matter if they play another sport or not. I'm interested on how other schools deal with that situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
