What kind of strength and conditioning program does ND have for the summer and off season? Does the NCAA permit any kind of organized program or are the kids supposed to be on their own? What do Alabama and Ohio State do?
They have a very organized strength program. The S&C staff can and does work with them the entire summer. The ND coaches even have opportunities where they work with them as well.
It's pretty much the same thing as they'd have all year long, except they're able to work harder at times with less school commitments.
They will train on their own once school gets out in a like a week and a half, but Notre Dame has given them a plan to follow. Then they will be back under the instruction of Balis and co the first week of June when they return.
