KIDS Program

K.I.D.S Program

Kentwood Public Schools is proud to offer the Kentwood Inner District Sports (KIDS) program, established in 2000. KIDS provides a structured opportunity for young learners to develop their fundamental athletic skills and explore a variety of sports in a supportive environment. Through the program, participants benefit from instruction by qualified KPS athletic staff and gain exposure to mentorship from current Kentwood student-athletes. The KIDS program cultivates a love of sportsmanship and a commitment to healthy living within the Kentwood community.

In addition to gaining athletic skills, participation in the KIDS program also helps students develop characteristics that will benefit them beyond sports:

  • Resiliency
  • Problem-solving
  • Creativity
  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Motivation
  • Self-confidence
