Sports in Education

The Sports in Education Program provides funding to sports organizations that will give sports instruction and education to students at participating schools in the county. It’s purpose is to develop, pilot, and maintain partnerships that further sports learning in grades 3-12, enhance the current curriculum with Hudson County-specific content, and create opportunities for students’ meaningful physical education. The organizations will provide integrated and aligned physical curriculum of the schools. Coaches will work closely with the educators in the schools to enhance not only physical but learning opportunities and embed the grades 3-12 programs into standard curriculum.

The programming goals would be to provide students an alternative to learn and have a better understanding of teamwork, fundamental gross motor skills development, more confidence, promote healthy competition, a higher overall sports IQ, problem solving-skills, and overall physical health benefits. In the long run the program will increase all students’ access and knowledge to sports integration education within Hudson County and partnership will increase opportunities for furthering extracurricular sports activities.

All public schools, charter schools, and school districts located in Hudson County are eligible to apply for this grant program. You may apply for your individual school, or you may apply on behalf of your public school district. If you are applying on behalf of your school district, you may apply for multiple schools in your district to receive programming during the grant period.
