St. Andrews Ancient Athetics
This operating unit is the fastest growing
unit in the society. Amazingly popular for being in a small U.S. mid-western
city, Springfield has become a major Mecca for Ancient Athletic competitions.
Kevin & Bill Rogers started the athletics quite
a few years ago and did a great job in getting it off of the ground. Merl
Lawless and John Moore took over from there and helped take it to the next level.
From there, many more of us have been added to the mix, and the results of the
solid start and new blood have created an Athletic Powerhouse for the Midwest.
At one time, Springfield hosted the Master’s World Championships, and we hope
to do that again one day. We currently host and participate in several events
throughout the year in various locations. You can come and see us at any
of our venues throughout the year, just check the calendar to see where we are
going to be!
I welcome each and every one of you to come
and play with us! We are always on the lookout for new athletes and there
are plenty of volunteer jobs for people who just want to be close to the action.
These can even qualify as community services hours for those students that are
in need of them.
When the weather is decent we have a practice
field that you will find many of us at as often as we can be.
Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions
or comments that you might have and I welcome you all to come to any of our
events…even if it’s just to say hello and share a pint!
