Welcome to Riversdale Athletics Club

Riversdale's Coach of the Month for September is Chris Schneider.

Chris has been a coach with Riversdale Athletics Club since 2014 and currently he is the lead sprints/jumps coach for athletes U16 to Masters. Before coming to join us, Chris was a member of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, where he trained/competed as a horizontal jumper and 300m specialist. During his career with the U of S Huskies, Chris competed on Canada West teams and hopes that he will see some of his athletes competing on similar or higher stages than he did, in the future. You will often see Chris "suited up" around the track, especially on meet days. Chris strongly believes in the power of “look good, feel good, play well”; he holds his athletes to a high standard of being prepared and practices what he preaches. During the week, Chris is a teacher within the Saskatoon Public Schools Division, where he is currently teaching grade 6 through the online learning centre. In his spare time, Chris enjoys being outside and is an avid golfer and up-and-coming disc golfer. You can often find him on the links with Coach Baerg. Chris also enjoys weightlifting, a common interest he shares with assistant coaches Hretsina and Olson, playing his guitars, and walking his dog, Sophie. We are very pleased to have Coach Schneider as a member of the Riversdale family and we appreciate all of the work he puts in during base, indoors, and outdoors seasons. Congratulations, Coach Schneider!
