Sports and Leadership Summer Program

A five day Sports Leadership Program led by Pike Athletics.

This program invites students entering grades three through seven in the fall of 2026 to build a strong foundation as athletes and leaders through dynamic, multi-environment athletic experiences. Through purposeful play and skill development, students strengthen communication, responsibility, and resilience while learning the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and problem-solving.

In a safe and engaging setting, participants are encouraged to explore physical fitness, reflect on their growth, and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be both a developing athlete and a thoughtful leader.

This program will run in two one-week sessions
Session 1: June 15 - June 19, 2026: 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Session 2: June 22 - June 26, 2026: 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
