Coaching Culture: Agents of Hope
Oklahoma City Public Schools has a storied history of producing some of the state’s best athletes and teams. But when resources dwindled and facilities suffered from decades of neglect, the district's once-thriving sports culture declined. Today, Fields & Futures and OKCPS are committed once again to fostering a coaching culture that attracts and retains agents of hope who want to impact lives on and off the field.

Stars Align at Historic Stars Mile Night Featuring the Simon Greiner Elite Mile
History was made at the 2024 Stars Mile Night featuring the Simon Greiner Elite Mile. In addition to the first sub-4-minute mile ever recorded on an outdoor track in Oklahoma, a record crowd witnessed a night full of Mile Night records and Oklahoma bests.
Building Happy, Healthy Kids Through Summer Programming
Compared to many other communities and school districts, OKCPS Athletics historically lacked the resources to offer summer camps and clinics for its athletes. Now in its second year, OKCPS Summer Programming is back with a full lineup of free sports camps and clinics that provide invaluable opportunities for young athletes to improve their abilities and stay engaged during the off-season.
