Skyhawks is excited to announce that we have partnered with STEM Sports® to launch Skyhawks STEM Sports® programs this year starting with soccer, basketball, flag football, volleyball, and multi-sport! STEM Sports® programs are rooted in Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards that combine science, technology, engineering and math into sports.

STEM Sports® curriculum will be introduced into Skyhawks’ programs via two new formats: STEM Sports® and STEM & Play. Each format will utilize the STEM Sports® curriculum, but STEM & Play will pair it with traditional Skyhawks’ program activities and instruction. Both formats will be available for basketball, flag football, multi-sport, soccer, and volleyball programs this summer in select regions across North America.

STEM Sports® Basketball programs educate kids on various topics including shoe design, velocity, acceleration, tracking with technology and more.

STEM Sports® Football educates students on glove and helmet tech, in-game communication, throwing arm strength, football properties and other hot topics.

STEM Sports® Soccer gives students the opportunity to get behind the sport they love with modules on soccer ball design, throw-in science, angles and goal-line technology.

Developed by USA Volleyball, STEM Sports® Volleyball programs include lessons on the science behind serving, calculating contact time and other STEM topics.

Skyhawks will also integrate STEM-based activities into multi-sport in order to give participants opportunities to learn the science, technology, engineering and math of more than one sport in a single program.
