Middle-school competition coincides with Olympics

The best of the best aren’t just competing this month in Paris!

This week the City School District of Albany’s Summer Sports Academy, in collaboration with the University at Albany Liberty Partnerships Rising Stars Program, held a mini-Olympics. 

Middle schoolers from throughout the district had the opportunity to show off their athletic prowess through basketball, soccer and frisbee challenges. The games were followed by a chant competition.

The month-long program aims to provide sports training and exposure, health and wellness education, academic enrichment and field trips.
