Athletics Program

Competition is the essential ingredient of the athletic program. We encourage our student-athletes to embrace challenge, overcome obstacles, think creatively, cherish loyalty and, most importantly, to compete with enthusiasm.  Competition helps students to do their best and helps them learn how to deal with both winning and losing in a respectful, socially acceptable way.  Our student-athletes are expected to play with determination, compete fairly, and respect the efforts of their opponents.

1. Encourage levels of excellence from our athletic teams that match our expectations in the classroom;
2. Provide a range of opportunities for students to compete; 
3. Help our student-athletes reach their athletics goals as teams and individuals;
4. Instill appreciation of commitment to team, school and fitness;
5. Teach rules, skills, self-discipline, cooperation, sportsmanship, respect, and commitment to shared goals;
6. Support positive self-image and confidence gained through athletic participation.

St. Paul Academy and Summit School Athletics has partnered with a local gym, The Power House, to provide strength and conditioning sessions for our sports teams. Their personal trainers are enthusiastic and passionate about training youth teams. Each session includes a great workout, while also focusing on injury prevention, general physical preparedness, and healthy lifestyle habits. Athletes will increase their speed, agility, power, strength and endurance, and become more confident and knowledgeable about their fitness. Team Training with The Power House will equip athletes with the tools necessary for peak performance in specific sports.
