Sports Conditioning and Athletic Training (SCAT)
BRAKES - Balance, Reaction, Agility, Kuickness, Explosiveness, and Speed!

The athletics program at St. Andrew's is constantly changing to meet the needs of its student-athletes and aid in their pursuit of exceptional athletic performance.  In 2007-08, the sport conditioning and athletic training program (SCAT) enters its second year at St. Andrew's and will continue to assist Andrean athletes in their athletic development.  During the past three decades, the athletic attributes that have transcended and transformed the majority of sports have been core strength, power, balance, agility, and quickness.  However, traditional athletic workouts do not effectively target these key secondary fitness components.  Athletes and coaches used to believe that individuals who did not naturally possess secondary fitness components could not develop the skills and could not become elite athletes.  This is just not true!  With a properly designed and targeted SCAT training program, any athlete can improve their key fitness components.  Learn more...

1st Basketball
2008-09 Season Preview
 

In early November, the 1st Basketball team will once again take to the hardcourt to begin a highly anticipated 2008-09 season.  A strong nucleus of last year's team remains, as 8 of the 12 players have returned for their final year of varsity basketball.  Along with talented athletes moving up from last year's U16 team and new students to the school, all of the players should gel together into a highly competitive team.  The squad should achieve tremendous success if they manage to buy into the philosophy of playing hard, playing smart, and playing together.  Coach Ludwig looks forward to developing the talents of the Saints to prepare them for an exceptional season at the varsity level.  Information relating to team tryouts and schedule information will be made available as it develops.  Learn more...
