SBA provides student-athletes with the very best opportunities to maximize their academic and athletic opportunities through a well-orchestrated yearly calendar and daily schedule.  SBA’s annual calendar ensures that academic and athletic peaks do not coincide.

The yearly calendar is designed around the training and competition schedules of our student-athletes and runs year-round from June to June. While the bulk of our academic coursework occurs from September through June, summer academic options provide students with the opportunity to reduce their course loads during the winter months. Rigorous course loads in the fall and spring are reduced during the winter months to accommodate students’ training and travel demands.

Similarly, SBA’s daily schedules are designed to facilitate student-athletes’ academic, athletic, and personal growth. In the Fall and Spring, students’ seven hour academic day is broken up by two conditioning sessions while during the Winter students ski for three to four hours before heading back to school for four to five hours of academic work.

The time demands on SBA student-athlete are intense, but detailed individual planning, support from peers with like minded goals, and strong commitment and understanding from all staff allows them to succeed.

Winter Schedule
