integrity, teamwork, excellence and community service. Beyond the

shines a light on those who have made a difference in their district or
community. Teams are recognized by San Antonio Sports and Valero and
featured on The CW 35’s Thursday Night Lights high school football game

Thirty-four high school teams of eight students competed in three
divisions (female, male, and co-ed) challenging themselves at the
Alpha Warrior Proving Grounds. Teams worked together to compete on
the state-of-the-art obstacle course and in four Battleground Fitness
Challenges: Alcatraz Obstacle, Pull-Up Challenge, 360 Mountain Climb
Challenge, and the U.S. Army Push-Up Challenge. Each team was led
by a member of the U.S. Army who served as their Military Captain and
coach throughout the month leading up to the event which attracted
272 participants. Twenty teams made it through the obstacle course in
under 20 minutes and the champion of each division was awarded a
$500 grant for their school and athletic department.

More neighborhoods in San Antonio now have a park nearby through
the San Antonio Sports School Parks program. They are enhanced
by beautiful gateways or signs inviting the community to enjoy their
amenities. Anyone who wants to spend time outdoors, close to home
and in a safe and engaging area, is welcome.
Since 2012, San Antonio Sports has led the effort to increase accessibility
to green space in neighborhoods across the community by turning
elementary and middle school property into facilities to be enjoyed by S U P P O RT E D BY T H E

recreation after school hours. In conjunction with the Trust for Public
Land’s 10-Minute Walk campaign, San Antonio Sports, the City of San
Antonio, City Council members and San Antonio Parks & Recreation
will work together to build future parks in high need areas, providing
37
communities who currently don’t have a park within a ten-minute walk
facilities that can be accessed after school hours and on weekends.
Completed school parks
Thanks to support from the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation, a
fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, artistic gateways and signs since 2012
are installed at each school park welcoming citizens into the space. This
fund also allows San Antonio Sports to provide park enhancements for
students and the neighborhood.
