What makes school-based sports at RPS 205 different? Our teams are part of the IESA and IHSA and coaches are trained on how to maintain safe environments and make positive connections with kids. Also, we want our RPS students to try many sports before they settle in on the one or two (or three!) they love. Until they try a particular sport, a child won’t know if they have a knack for it! That’s where our RPS 205 Summer Sports Camps come into play. They’ll get a chance to be led by our awesome coaches and can choose sports they already know or sports that are new to them. Our camps are for RPS students entering grades 4-8 and we’ll offer every sport that is available at the middle and high school levels. Register here: https://manage.snap.app/register/rps205
