Inside Athletics
At Minnehaha Academy, athletics is designed to support the development, health, and formation of each student-athlete.
Inside Redhawk Athletics, you’ll find intentional training, strong oversight, and mission-aligned leadership working together to help students grow in strength, character, and confidence.
Strength & Conditioning
Redhawk student-athletes are supported year-round through structured development programs designed to build strength, skill, and resilience. Whether a student is new to competition or competing at a high level, our approach emphasizes:
- Proper form and technique
- Gradual progression
- Long-term athletic development
Through our Strength & Conditioning program, athletes follow personalized plans that prioritize safety and growth.
Redhawk Health & Safety
The health of our student-athletes is our top priority. We partner with sports medicine experts to ensure that our students train and compete using best practices for injury prevention and recovery.
Faith & Athletics Integration
We believe that faith is an integral aspect to all that we do at Minnehaha, and that includes our athletics program. Our coaches lead from a strong Christian faith, modeling servant leadership and Christ-like behavior in practice and on game day. We emphasize that our worth is God-given, and isn't determined by wins and loses on the field. Coaches regularly pray with athletes, our Athletic Chaplain leads teams in their faith journey, and students lift each other up and care for one another.
