Summer Training Initiative
The Simpson Men’s Basketball program finished the previous campaign with a 9‑16 overall record and a 6‑10 mark in conference play, a result that has set the tone for an aggressive offseason overhaul.
Head coach Kyle Jones, now in his third year at the helm, has designed a summer regimen that runs three to four days a week, blending structured weight sessions with on‑court drills to sharpen skill sets and build endurance.
Strength coaches have crafted a specialized lifting program that players follow independently, while local athletes lend a hand during workouts, creating a community‑driven environment that emphasizes consistent effort.
Beyond the gym, the squad participates in an open‑run session each week and competes twice weekly in the Des Moines city league, giving them ample game‑like scenarios to translate practice gains into real‑time performance.
Season Opener Set for November 7
The team’s season will officially begin on Saturday, November 7, when they host Knox for a non‑conference matchup scheduled for 5 p.m., marking the first step toward a postseason push.
