Saints Athletic Club-Basic to any sports is the art of running correctly.

Hi Parents of Junior Saints,
The Saints Athletic Club was formed in 2007, in the hope to encourage our junior saints to run, for fun as well as competively.

The art of running is the basis of all sports.

In the last two years with our boys, I can see the need to educate them on the importance of wearing their shoes properly. Our boys, majority of them, do not tighten their shoes properly. They loosely tie their laces so can easily slip on and off their shoes.

In some cases parents are the cause, you buy them one to one half size bigger. The idea is for them to grow into their shoes. This is the very coause of sports injury. When the shoes they are wearing are loose, they grip the inside of their shoes with the toes unknowingly. This constant gripping causes fatigue and undue muscle strain which then impede the boy from performing in their sports.

Teach them goo shoe wearing habits and the pain will go away. Pop your comments questions and suggestions whenever you have them.
