What is your off-season conditioning program like?
The interviewer wants to know your plans for your athletes when you no longer see them for practice every school. Off-season conditioning is a choice that coaches sometimes choose to do or not. Some of your athletes may be multi-sport players, do they fall into the same conditioning plans? Some coaches recommend that players exercise at least three days a week to keep in shape but other coaches don't expect their players to thing about the sport off season.
No matter what your plan is for your athletes just be prepared to back it up.
"I would love for all my players to play club season once they are done with our regular season but I know that isn't reasonable, because it gets expensive. I ask my athletes to try to exercise 3-4 times a week to say in shape, but when the season gets closer I encourage them to attend the open gyms lead by the seniors."

Nice details! It may be a good idea to include a comment regarding the efficacy of your off-season conditioning program. For instance, do your players return stronger, more focused, newly skilled, etc.?
