Sports are back for OKCPS students in grades 7-12, so it’s time to recharge and reboot athletics across the district!
We are excited to see students suit up for soccer, baseball, and track and field, and wish them a spring season of renewal, growth, and fun!
Says Paula Lewis, OKCPS School Board Chair, “On behalf of the OKCPS board, administration, staff, and fans, we are excited to see kids return to after-school activities and regain a sense of belonging, teamwork, and renewed excitement for learning. We very much appreciate the work Fields & Futures has done throughout this past year to make sure fields, tracks, and courts across the district stayed ready for play.”
In April 2020, Fields & Futures worked with OKCPS Athletics and coaches across the district to send a message to student-athletes, offering encouragement and reassurance sports would be back! Now, almost a year later, their #RallyTogetherOKC message is as relevant as ever.
