In Comedy Sportz, students learn how to build upon each other’s ideas and support each other in a common, creative goal. They learn the fine art of storytelling and how to quickly adapt to narrative situations as they unfold, and they develop collaboration skills they can carry with them into nearly every aspect of their lives. Comedy Sportz players also build deep and powerful friendships that last beyond their high school years.

Students audition for the team during the first couple of weeks
of school each year, and team practices are led by the team’s
co-managers up to twice a week in the evening. An adult, professional coach from Comedy Sportz LA is assigned to the team and participates in monthly coaching sessions and matches. Comedy Sportz students also participate in other fun events such as the Comedy Sportz GameCon Convention, Costa’s annual Lip Sync competition, and the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair.
 

This is a student-run program with support from their teacher- advisor, Maddie Hutchinson.
