We are always looking for team managers as they are a valuable part of our teams and athletic program. We are thankful for the students who have been team managers in the past and hope you will continue this year. 

We invite any students in grades 9 – 12 to become a team manager. We understand the commitment that Team managers provide to each team and all managers will receive a physical activity credit at the completion of each season. Knowing the value of a team manager to the players, coaches, parents and athletic program, we have created some initial guidelines that we ask of all managers starting in the 2023-24 school.  

Managers are an extension of our teams and coaches. The following are some of our expectations. 

1. Team managers should be part of practices and games 

2. Team managers will help coaches in practice

3. Team managers will be asked to work the game clock if no one is available

4. Team managers may be asked to keep stats, fill water bottles during games and practices

We hope they will consider being part of our athletic program as a player or manager, both are vital to the success of our athletic program. If you are interested in being a team manager, please complete this form. 

Please reach out with any questions!

SUMMER PROGRAM

The most important time to train to improve one’s performance as an athlete is in the off season. In most cases the competition load is decreased which allows more time for athletic development and specific skill work for upcoming sports. For most athletes this time is in the summer. 

I am excited to cap off a great school year of training with another successful summer.

If you aren’t familiar with the summer offering or the Athletic Development Program here is the focus of the summer program. 

Baseline Testing (1 mile, 300 yard shuttles, vertical, 40 yard dash, agility drills, strength exercises for the older athletes)

 

DAILY TRAINING ROUTINE

Prehab- Foam rolling, mobility, dynamic warm up

Speed and Agility- Sprint and change of direction work

Power- Jumps, bounds, skips

Strength and Core- Planks, carries, slams, age appropriate strength exercises

Conditioning- Sport specific conditioning to get you ready for your upcoming season

Post Exercise Flexibility and Recovery- Static stretching and stressing the importance of sleep, and proper nutrition to help recovery and stay injury free.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email (cpowlovich@stab.org)
