Campus athletic programs
School sports are athletic activities organized by educational institutions, from elementary through university level.
They include intramural programs (competition within a school) and interscholastic or intercollegiate competition against other schools.
In American culture, school sports—especially football and basketball—often command intense community attention, with Friday night games becoming social events: The whole town turns out for school sports.
