After fall practices and games, the team conditions hard over the winter. They then start indoor pre-season in January and play until the close of school in May. Only one unexcused absence is allowed all spring. Bi-weekly progress reports are turned into the coaching staff. The coaches also make unannounced visits to classes to check on the players and to meet with professors.
Athletes are also able to seek out tutors for their individual classes.
This process is handled by the department heads. Every WSC student has their own email address. In 00, Eric Swedberg was named 2 nd Team All-America. That leaves the Academic side. The work continues.
