Summer 2020 Speed School
SOLD OUT (updated Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at 1:15 pm)
Due to popular demand, all slots for Project Athletes Summer Speed School have been taken. There is a waitlist, and people do cancel. If you would like to be on the wait list, please register and your name will be added to the list.
We are also working with community organizations to navigate additional options for small groups during Phase 3. If those materialize, we will contact those on the waitlist.
We are also hopeful Illinois will enter Phase 4 (which allows gatherings of 50), we will adjust programming and add from the waitlist. Any one on the waitlist will be contacted first for those slots.
