🐅💪 SUMMER PRIDE STARTS TOMORROW! 💪🐅 Attention Commerce Tiger athletes! Summer Pride is your opportunity to improve every day. Whether you compete in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, track, cross country, or powerlifting, the work you put in this summer will pay off when your season arrives.

Every sprint is a chance to get faster. Every day you show up is a chance to get better. 📅 Summer Pride Schedule 🏋️ High School Boys Weights – 8:00 AM 🏃 High School & Middle School Boys Conditioning – 9:00 AM 🏋️ Middle School Boys Weights – 10:00 AM 🎯 Summer Pride Incentives 💦 Attend 30 workouts and earn a trip to a Tulsa water park with your teammates in late July. 🥩 Achieve 100% attendance and earn the prestigious Commerce Tigers Summer Pride Ironman Award, which includes: • Summer Pride Ironman T-Shirt • Summer Pride Ironman Shorts • Steak Dinner grilled by the coaches The athletes who improve the most this summer will be the ones who consistently show up and put in the work. Be one of them. Let’s have a great summer and continue building a tradition of excellence in Tiger athletics. #TigerPride #WeBleedTigerBlue #CommerceTigers #SummerPride #Ironma
