Greeley- Kids who play sports in school district 6 and the surrounding area may utilize the agreement of trading sports utility usage between University Schools and Greeley public schools.
A resolution for this agreement will be voted on by the Greeley City Council in two weeks.
But the agreement received positive feedback,especially from council member Robb Casseday.
University Schools is a public k-12 charter school located in west Greeley.According to Andy McRoberts, the director of Greeley's leisure services department, University Schools’ recreational matters are separate from the Greeley public schools.
“But University has limited space for sports,” McRoberts said.
Instead of resorting to renting out space to play sports, an agreement was customized to the schools needs for sports like soccer, football and track.
According to McRoberts, Greeley public schools sometimes have too many kids in their sports programs and not enough places to hold practice or games. The agreement allows children from both Greeley public schools and University Schools to use various gyms, courts, tracks and fields around the city.
“We choose to trade in the form of hours rather than a dollar amount,” McRoberts said.
In most cases the schools will trade facilities according to the sport and which season it is in order to avoid conflicting schedules.
“It is important for the citizens of Greeley to see how this relationship with University Schools benefits school district 6,” council member Robb Casseday said.
