About Us

Art Anderson is a prior elite athlete with expertise in sprints, hurdles, relays and 800m coaching.  Art has been a track and field coach for over 30 years and has a broad knowledge of a number of sports, having been a Head Track and Field Coach, Head Basketball Coach, Assistant Cross Country, Assistant Football, Assistant Softball and Assistant Soccer Coach (across a variety of states, including Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Arizona – high schools and colleges)

Throughout his career, Art has coached individuals and groups ranging in age and ability, from elementary-aged students to elite, professional-level athletes.  Art spends the majority of his time working with high school and college-level athletes preparing them for competition.  Art’s summer, fall and winter training has helped to produce 15 state champions and 40 district champions in Oregon and numerous other athletes in different states. Art’s training has been successful due to the focus on technique and workouts geared to the individual’s needs.

Often Art can be found working with small groups that are dedicated, hard-working and focused on performance improvement.  The individuals in these groups share commonalities in their events and performance, creating an environment that helps them build off and encourage each other to greater performances and improvement.  Off-season training also ensures that student-athletes enter the season in shape and ready to compete, reducing injuries, and improving performances and confidence.

Many sports require speed and quickness for the greatest success.  Art has helped athletes in track, lacrosse, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, rugby and field hockey to improve their performance through improvements in their speed, agility and quickness.

Art has owned and operated the Art Anderson All Sports Camps in CA, NV, OR, and WA bringing lots of fun while cultivating the love of sports of all kinds while helping develop a new generation of athletes.
