  How about putting the data frames into a list:

A1 <- (structure(list(s1 = c(0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L),
                      s2 = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L),
                      s3 = c(0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L),
                      s4 = c(1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L)),
                      .Names = c("s1", "s2", "s3", "s4"),
                      class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -10L)))

A1.list <- vector("list", 10)

for(i in 1:10){A1.list[[i]] <- A1[sample(nrow(A1), 5),]}

t(sapply(A1.list, colMeans))
t(sapply(A1.list, sd))

summary(t(sapply(A1.list, colMeans)))
summary(t(sapply(A1.list, sd)))
