SAQ in Bishan Park Secondary School

Activo organized and conducted a 1.5hour SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness) program with Bishan Park Secondary School on the 8th of July 2010.

Mr Hansen Bey was the main coordinator for this program. We had so much fun meeting the super active kids from the Soccer and Basket Ball school team. The activities were arranged into 3 groups, managed by different instructors. Mr Hansen was incharged of the Agility Ladder, Mr Latiff took charged of the short hurdles, and I was incharged of the Reaction Ball. I have to thank Mr Eddie from Xpat Fitness, for helping us to film these video clips, and Brenda from Activo for the photos.

The SAQ is very beneficial to all students ranging from secondary to tertiary level, who are involved in sports. These 3 components will definitely enhance sports performance. It will be ideal if the coaches from the sports groups will adopt the idea of doing SAQ as part of their training regime.
