Baseball Team Using SpartaTrac This Season
  

SANTA CLARA, CA - Using state-of-the-art technology, the Santa Clara baseball team (and basketball team) is using SpartaTrac this year as their primary strength and conditioning application.
 

"Sparta is outstanding in every way," said Bronco baseball coach Dan O'Brien. "From their clearly-defined vision to the cutting edge technology, their program is well thought out, simple and effective. They do it right, and their results are the proof. We're excited to have them join our Bronco Baseball family."

"At this point, I don't know who would argue to keep it, or what their argument would be," said one team official who believes general managers will address the topic at their meetings next month. "There is no reasoned argument to keep it [in the game]."
