You’ve got the talent, drive, and passion for sports, but does it feel like it’s all going unnoticed? At PS Academy Arizona, you’ll have opportunities to play your favorite sports and really shine! As the first school for students with special needs in Arizona’s Canyon Athletic Association (CAA) league, PS Academy’s sports program offers students a competitive experience where you’re not just playing for fun, you’re working to develop skills and prove yourself playing against neurotypical peers.

Here’s a look at the sports we offer and each one’s pathway to growth, connection, and triumph.

🏀 Basketball: Get Your Head in the Game

Basketball at PS Academy is all about discipline, hard work, and skill development. Here, you work on the fundamentals while also focusing on good sportsmanship and respect. You’ll also find camaraderie and an atmosphere where everyone on the team plays a part. Through practices and games, athletes develop teamwork, endurance, and self-confidence, setting the stage for wins that go beyond the scoreboard.

🏈 Flag Football: Friday Night Lights

Ready to bring energy to the field? Our flag football program emphasizes both skill and sportsmanship. Players learn agility, communication, and how to push their limits in a fast-paced, non-tackle version of traditional football. That said, every game offers opportunities to tackle challenges, refine techniques, and celebrate big.

📣 Cheer: We’ve Got Spirit, Yes 👏 We 👏 Do 👏

Cheerleading at PS Academy is about more than cheering from the sidelines. It’s about strength, precision, and teamwork. As a cheerleader, you’ll master skills and show off your agility and strength while motivating your fans and your team to victory. And because cheerleading combines dance and choreography, it builds coordination, confidence, and a sense of unity with the whole squad.

🏆 Special Olympics: A League of Their Own

While many schools offer limited sports opportunities, PS Academy offers both highly competitive and more adaptive options for athletes. Along with the CAA sports listed above, PS Academy has its own Special Olympics delegation and offers bowling, track and field, basketball, flag football, and cheer. Participating in the Special Olympics is a powerful experience that goes beyond recreational play; it’s about competing with heart and showing yourself and others what you’re capable of.
