Summer Camp Sports Program - Basketball
About The Position
The Utica City School District is seeking qualified candidates for a Youth Sports Summer Program featuring Basketball, Football, Baseball, Softball, Swimming, Track & Field, Lacrosse, Tennis, Cheerleading, Wrestling, Golf, Cross Country, Soccer, and Volleyball. This program is a strategic investment in student wellness, safety, equity, and achievement, aiming to keep youth active and safe during the summer while supporting the district's mission to educate the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.

It promotes health and fitness through varied sports options, builds critical life skills and character such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, encourages academic and career exploration by integrating academic components tied to sports, increases equity and opportunity by offering less accessible sports like lacrosse, and strengthens community and family ties through events and local partnerships.
