Sandy Slade - Skillastics
For over two decades, Sandy ‘Spin’ Slade was considered one of the best basketball handlers on the planet performing for thousands at NBA half-times, schools, and special events throughout the world. She has appeared on the David Letterman Show, was featured in a national TV commercial for Nintendo GameBoy and was a double for Halle Berry in the movie CatWoman. She is the subject of a one-hour award winning documentary called: Sandy Spin Slade: Beyond Basketball, which was released in 2001. After retiring from performing, Sandy revolutionized the educational market by introducing Skillastics®, the #1 large group physical activity resource that makes it easy to organize, motivate and engage kids to move, learn and love it. Since 2002, Skillastics® has been enjoyed by over 10 million students in over 25,000 education settings nationwide. Sandy is also known for being one of the premier session speakers/presenters at Physical Education & After School Conferences throughout the country, inspiring thousands to enjoy all the benefits physical activity provides. In January 2017, her High School Alma Mater named their gymnasium, Sandy Spin Slade Gymnasium in her honor.
