Esperanza is known for its sports and these summer programs are what make them so good at what they do. Most of the sports programs are held through the school year but many sports continue through the summer.sports

The men’s soccer program starts at the beginning of the summer and ends close to the end of summer allowing players to get all the practice they need for the upcoming season. That being said not all of the sports programs are worth it, according to the students. Freshman Alejandro Maldonado said, “The summer program for soccer is not worth it.” In this instance that could mean that another summer soccer program could be better. The school provided summer sports programs could lack a specific coach a player wants. Also clubs are known for being at more of a high intensity when practicing, which some players like.

The cheer coach David Ribadeneira said, “Our summer program is a great experience because it is a time for the girls to bond with each other”. In this case the cheerleading camp lasts for a couple weeks and the girls all stay together in hotel rooms in Orange county. The girls bond and make a team connection by doing different activities. One activity they do is a ropes course. This teaches them how to trust one another while also having fun.

Football on the other hand is known for being more of an intense summer program. The program starts three weeks into summer and goes right into the season. A practice lasts from Monday through Friday from noon to 6:00 p.m. This is very important to the team because without this summer program the team would be farther behind on getting plays mastered.Sophomore Nate Nadeau said, “Our summer program prepares us for the rest of our season, and sets in the foundation needed to do different plays”.
