Athletics Training
A reminder to all potential athletes and their families that Athletics training for the Inters will commence at the completion of the PSA Winter Sporting Season, on Monday 18 August, starting at 3.45pm sharp on the Memorial Oval. This year we have the potential to build on our successes of the last three years and win our fourth consecutive Alcock Shield. To achieve this we need every potential athlete at training as often as possible. Athletics is unique to PSA sport because it has it's own season, providing the opportunity for all boys to be involved. The Athletics team is the largest within the school, embracing boys from Years 7 to 12 where they train together as one, instilling a unique sense of school spirit and mate ship that I feel makes athletics very special. The mental and physical benefits of Athletics transcend into the character and personal development of all those who participate, having a positive impact on all the sports our students play. I strongly encourage all the boys to be involved and play their part in building on the special culture of Scotch College Athletics.
