Sport by Numbers

There’s a whole lot of facility at SPIRE Institute and Academy. We know it’s a lot to take in so here’s your cheat sheet on the biggies that give our athletes a training edge.

Aquatics Center with Splash 

SPIRE’s Aquatics Center is the envy of all other aquatic centers and features:

• (1) 50-meter Olympic Myrtha pool for U.S.A. Swimming competitive training and international meets

• (4) Therapy pools with soft, graduated bottoms for performance training in all sports as well as rehabilitation

• (1) 25-meter recreational pool for general fitness and swimming lessons

• A massive fitness club, performance training center and medical offices

• Olympic-grade timing systems and Omega starting blocks

• Underwater camera systems for capturing and analyzing strokes

Bottom line: So functional, versatile and full service, meets flow without interrupting other cross training, recreational and rehab activities.

Track and Field that Goes the Distance 

The nation’s largest track and field center is Olympic-grade from every angle—the Beynon tracks for speed, the Lynx timing and scoring systems and even the automatic hurdles.

Take a closer look at the inside and outside track facilities:

Indoor View

• 8-lane, 300-meter Beynon track with 2 full (10 lane) 150-meter straight-aways

• 2 high-jump pits, 2 long jump and 2 pole vault pits

• Seating for 7,500

Outdoor View

• 9-lane, 400-meter Beynon track with 2 full 150-meter straight-aways

• 2 high jump pits, 4 long jump pits and 2 pole pits

• Seating for 9,500

Bottom line: Not only will you run faster, you’ll recover quicker. Oh, and your meets will finish in hours instead of days.

Fields that Stretch Dreams

 Game time on miniature fields just can’t mimic the speed and performance of the ‘big game’ on the ‘big field’. Yet come winter, most field sports are relegated to makeshift ice-rink size fields. Not here.

 See what our fields offer you indoors and out:

 Indoors

• 215,000 square feet of indoor regulation field give you prime field position over most sports complexes in the country

• AstroTurf GameDay Grass, 36-feet ceilings and indirect lighting deliver the pro game backdrop

• Convertible fields provide soccer, lacrosse, football and baseball usage

 Outdoors

• Same full-size field as indoors with AstroTurf GameDay Grass pre-lined for football, soccer and lacrosse games

• And so much more still to come.

 Bottom line: It’s the big game, full-size, all year long.

Home Court Advantage

Our courts have the size for regulation play and the extra’s like a comfort layer beneath the surface for shock absorption and energy return as well as indirect lighting for anti-glare. They can also accommodate:

• 12 regulation size volleyball courts; or

• 5 NBA size basketball courts; or

• 9 regulation tennis courts

• Ability to host many other events including wrestling, gymnastics and cheerleading.

 Bottom line: Play like the pros on high-tech courts that support you every day.

 It’s a Ball (or a wedding, or a corporate event)

Bottom line: From meetings, to weddings, corporate retreats and even a formal ball,

SPIRE can safely accommodate your event.

 It Takes a Village

• Six bedrooms, three bathrooms

• Student lounge with big screen TV

• Dining room

• Washer and dryer

• Unique key entry

 Bottom line: A space where individuals not only excel academically, but master life’s personal skills.
