Crittenton Sports Program
The Crittenton Sports Program (CSP) was created in 2002 to provide positive alternatives for students to pursue after school.  Today, competitive basketball and volleyball programs are available to Crittenton Youth Academy students.

Crittenton Youth Academy is one of many Valley charter schools involved in the Charter Athletic Association. This league is designed to provide athletic competition for students in the nontraditional school system.

Crittenton Youth Academy teams have competed in the CAA for the past five years and have earned division championships in boy’s & girl’s basketball and girl’s volleyball. The CSP is also the proud home of Arizona’s 2007 Class B State Champions girl’s volleyball team.

A Sports Success Story: Crittenton Youth Academy’s 2007 Girl’s Volleyball Team
The 2007 girl’s volleyball began with eleven girls and transformed into seven strong and resilient female student athletes. Through their 17–0 season, the girls displayed great sportsmanship, strong comebacks and a passion for winning! The most remarkable comeback came against Teacher Prep high school when the CA team was behind eleven points and came back to win and maintain a perfect record. The four victories in the CAA tournament solidified their season of perfection and proclaimed them as the first team in CSP history to win a state championship.
