Why Choose School Sports?

Because school sports programs are different. While club, collegiate, and professional sports are focused on developing the best athletes, education-based athletics are focused on developing the whole person through invaluable life lessons.

Looking for a way to get involved at your school? For a sporting event to attend? For a cause to support? Choose School Sports!

  • Students: School sports programs help you develop character, build confidence, and gain friends and mentors for life. Talk to your school’s athletic administrator about participating!
  • Parents, educators and community members: School sports programs are where everyone can join. Everyone is welcome. And everyone belongs. Encourage the students in your life to get involved!
  • Sports fans: Attending your local schools’ athletic events supports student-athletes and their schools, your community and the mission of school sports. Thank you for your partnership!

With so many activities that students can participate in and so many events that fans can attend, the choice is clear: Choose School Sports!
