LEAP is designed to offer co-curricular opportunities for TCAPS' students in elementary and middle school.
Vision
In partnership with a caring community, the Learning Enrichment & Athletic Program, will provide students with increased opportunities for engagement beyond the school day through educational and recreational activities to improve learning, health, and wellness.
Mission
The mission of LEAP is to support successful academic achievement for all students.
Program Goals
- Each student committing to participate in athletic and/or recreational activities offered through LEAP will be ensured access to available programming.
- Focus of all LEAP activities and teams will be on skill development, gaining an appreciation for the sport/activity, and on teamwork.
- The highest degree of sportsmanship will be demonstrated by participants, coaches, parents, and spectators at all times.
Elementary Athletic Opportunities
Athletic programs are available for elementary students in second through fifth grade, depending on the sport. The following sports will be offered at each TCAPS school that registers enough participants to field a team:
- Basketball, Boys (2nd-5th) Starts Dec. 3rd
- Basketball, Girls (2nd-5th) Starts Oct. 15th
- Cross-Country (4th & 5th)
- Track & Field (4th & 5th)
- Volleyball, Co-ed (4th & 5th)
The focus of LEAP athletic offerings is on skill development, growing a love of sport, and teamwork. Team placement for all LEAP programs will be determined by school of attendance and/or by random placement with the goal of each team being equitable. Teams will not be determined by a hierarchy of assumed talent. No student will be "cut" from any LEAP program.
