The CHAMPS Sports and Fitness Program is available to elementary, middle, and District 75 school students of all abilities. CHAMPS provides students the opportunity to participate in physical activity and sports programs before and after school. Students do not have to have any specific athletic skill level or experience. At the start of the school year, eligible principals will be notified on how to prepare to apply and request funding for CHAMPS at their school. Programs will be awarded proportionally across boroughs based on available funding. Schools with the highest-needs populations with chronic absentee rates and students in temporary housing will be prioritized.  

Principals can check for announcements that appear in Principal's Digest and in the School Wellness Weekly newsletter.
