Coach Chip Kelly of the Philadelphia Eagles, and former National Champion with the Oregon Ducks, invented what is known today as West Coast style football(3). This West Coast style offense incorporates much diversification involving power run, pocket passing, and option run(3). The key trait in this offense is that they never huddle(3). The quarterback shouts out the play to the various players, and they run it as fast as they can(3). One way that the Sabers could improve is by implementing some of Chip Kelly’s West Coast style schemes.

The question is how do they get more members to attend weight training? This is not the only problem circulating the Central DeWitt’s weight training program. Central DeWitt currently does a weight-training program called cross-fit. Cross-fit is the idea that you can combine power training and conditioning into one workout, which sounds like a great idea to most(2).
