Athlos Jefferson Parish athletics will kickoff this Fall 2019 with volleyball, flag football; soccer.

The approach to after school athletics for this season will be focused on student-athlete development. Due to Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish’s commitment to a long-term athletic development approach, our goal is to offer an after-school experience that supports that ideal –an athletic environment where all students are welcome to participate, and that’s focused on introducing and developing the skills needed to be competent in that season’s sport or activity. 

The sport seasons at Athlos Jefferson Parish may look a little different than traditional programs. We will offer intramural sports team and league play (basketball) for fifth, sixth and seventh grade students.

During Intramural sports, the beginning weeks of each season will be dedicated to skill development where the goal of our coaches is to first develop a base layer of skill for every participant before transitioning into small sided competition. Coaches will assemble teams based on skill level so that every student's experience is created with their personal development in mind. Each sport season will last approximately nine weeks depending on the school calendar. 

League play will consist of a sports team being dedicated to skill development and incorporating the application of the sport related skills into a competitive game experience while competing against the opposing teams from different schools in the league.

We’re excited to offer an athletic experience where all are welcome to participate, and the goal remains to develop active, fit, and efficient movers.
