Athletes have access to some of the best coaches in the state of Arizona who are committed to the development of young athletes, while also spending significant time emphasizing character and sportsmanship. Our slogan of Two Steps Ahead comes from the promise to our community that we provide an unparalleled program in terms of coaching, facilities and competition. Student-athletes will be two steps ahead as they move through their playing career as a result of coaches and program leaders who are relentless in their pursuit of excellence. With player development being the focus we are able to identify the playing ability of all athletes and begin a structured approach of facilitating growth.

Programs will receive championship banners to hang in multipurpose rooms at the conclusion of each season. We will also recognize the team with the best spirit and who exemplifies the greatest sportsmanship. Building pride in the campus and celebrating the success of our student-athletes is important.

Registration opens on March 25th and will close on June 6th for the 2024-2025 School Year. Dates of Screenings are June 11th, June 12th, and June 13th. For admission to kindergarten, a child must be five years of age prior to September 1 of the current school year. A child who turns five between September 1 and December 31 of the current school year will be assessed to determine readiness in order to qualify for early entrance into kindergarten. Kindergarten screenings will be held in June ONLY. Screenings for early entrance will not take place after these sessions. Registrations for screening must be completed online; a non-refundable $90 assessment fee will be collected at that time. Once registration is completed, confirmation will be sent via email indicating the date, appointment time, and location for the child’s screening. Results will be given after the completion of the screening. Early entrance screenings measure a child’s social and academic ability, predicting their success in kindergarten. The social screening takes place in a group setting, while the academic readiness assessment is individually administered in a computer lab with support and guidance from a certified teacher. The social screening and the academic readiness assessment will be analyzed, and a decision will be made regarding the child’s readiness. This decision regarding initial placement is final with no appeal process, and children will not be rescreened. If within the first 30 school days, there is a concern regarding whether an early placement is appropriate for your child, a campus team may be convened to reconsider this decision.
