Public Schools Athletic League
The mission of the Public Schools Athletic League is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through an athletic program that fosters teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness
The goal of the C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness program is to improve student fitness levels and overall health by increasing opportunities for children to engage in physical activity, regardless of athletic ability. The program promotes health-related fitness through a mix of several after-school and before-school activities including traditional sports, non-traditional sports, and fitness activities. The ultimate goal is for students to grow to be C.H.A.M.P.S. — Cooperative, Healthy, Active, Motivated, Positive Students — for life.

Fitnessgram

Every year students participate in the Fitnessgram fitness assessment.  The Fitnessgram is based on individual performance and personal improvement.  The assessment consists of the PACER, curl-up, push-up, trunk-lift and the sit and reach.  This measures their cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance and flexibility.

C.H.A.M.P.S. Program

The purpose of the C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports and Fitness League at P.S./I.S. 18 is to offer additional opportunities for students regardless of athletic ability, to engage in a variety of physical activities, and to encourage these students to find activities that they enjoy and can participate in for life.  Our C.H.A.M.P.S. program has three seasons (fall, winter, spring).  We currently offer three sports: Boy’s Flag Football (fall), Girl’s Volleyball (winter), Boy’s Basketball (spring).
