The mission of ELCSports is to ensure all DPS elementary schools and students have the opportunity to participate in DPS Elementary School Athletics.

This program primarily serves 4th and 5th graders during the school year, with summer sessions designed to prepare rising 4th and 5th graders for the upcoming academic year.

ELCSports aligns with DPS Middle and High School Athletics by offering similar sports and operating under the pay-to-play model. By creating a seamless pipeline from elementary to middle school athletics, ELCSports helps students build their skills, confidence, and readiness for future athletic opportunities.

Program Highlights

Students participating in ELCSports will:

• Develop athletic abilities to compete and grow in their chosen sports.

• Learn leadership skills that support personal and team success.

• Understand the importance of sportsmanship and teamwork.

This program not only enhances athletic performance but also fosters essential life skills that students can carry with them on and off the field.
