PHOENIX SPORT ACADEMIES
The Phoenix Sport Academies are small, year-round sport programs that are designed to accommodate students in the RIS community. They operate alongside our seasonal RIS athletics program to support the development of basic sporting skills, while giving students a chance to participate in activities on a regular basis. Please be sure to carefully check the schedules for each academy before committing. For further information about the costs, venues and schedules of the various sport academies on offer, please follow the links below.
