Partner Organizations
All PSAA Sports - Green & Gold Sport System
The Green & Gold Sport System represents a coordinated approach to developing athletes from grassroots participation to the elite level of sport. Housed within Golden Bears and Pandas Athletics and the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation at the University of Alberta, the Green & Gold Sport System is able to draw upon the academic and practical expertise of scholars and coaches across a multitude of disciplines and sports.
The System's programming features age-appropriate opportunities for athletic engagement across a variety of sports, and emphasizes the development of the whole athlete beyond the base physical and athletic needs that sport requires. Supporting the mental wellness of athletes in their programs is critically important, and their approach focuses on teaching methods adapted to the needs of the participants. The Green & Gold Sport System's goal is to prepare their athletes to explore, engage and excel in any sport they choose to pursue.
All PSAA Sports - ARC by Pivotal Physiotherapy
Parkland Student Athlete Academy is proud to partner with ARC by Pivotal Physiotherapy to facilitate Pro-Day experiences for our student athletes. Three times a year, our students participate in this age- and stage-appropriate testing that includes performance metrics, functional movement screening and individual measurements (height, weight, etc.). The data is then analyzed by an expert performance coach and used to construct meaningful corrective exercise programs for our entire student body. Students are also able to track their general athletic development over time.
