K-8 Athletes
A distinct athletic advantage happens through a K-8 development program. From the start of Elementary School, students are encouraged to try a variety of sports activities in clinics and camps. Participation-based teams in Middle School give young athletes playing time, no matter their skill level. As athletes reach High School, they are properly trained and well-equipped for the rigors of competitive CIF sports.
