ATHLETICS

Whether improving self-esteem, teaching teamwork, improving communication skills, promoting a healthy lifestyle through education about general health and proper nutrition or reinforcing academic accountability, the impact of athletics on the TPT after-school program can be seen everyday. The three main components are as follows:

The LA84 Middle School Sports League

All four TPT locations offer on-campus leagues in the following sports: flag football, basketball, soccer and volleyball. TPT is proud to have been chosen by the LA84 Foundation as a partner in the launching of this ambitious Pilot Program as TPT locations comprised 3 of the original 7 school to participate in the LEAGUE, and was the only organization to operate more than one of the original schools.

Each season culminates in the PRIME TIME JAMBOREE, a four-site TPT tournament, with the winner earning the right to take home the coveted WSA CUP.

Alternative Sports Program

The alternative sports program is designed for those students not participating in the “seasonal” sports activities. The alternative sports program features individual sports like tennis and golf and track and field as well as off-season sports.

General Health and Fitness

TPT recognizes that not every student will pursue sports in high school, but that every student must be taught the importance of pursuing a healthy lifestyle. It is for this reason that TPT also offers participation-based, non-competitive activities that emphasize fun and fitness. By doing so, TPT believes that the choice to pursue a healthy lifestyle is made that much easier.

Team Prime Time would like to acknowledge the Westcoast Sports Associates for its ongoing support of the TPT Sports Program.
