Sports at Tech Schools

Sports may become a part of North Georgia’s Tech schools to attract students.

It may not be football, but eight North Georgia tech schools are looking into developing sports teams that can play each other. It’s a move towards a more traditional college experience. They are even holding meetings to find out what activities their students are looking for outside of classes.

Coosa Valley Tech’s spokesman says the goal is to start a women’s volley ball team and a men’s basketball team by spring.

Over all, the age of the average technical school student is dropping. Coosa Valley Tech even has a new plan called Project REAL, or Relevant Education and Life. It’s designed to recruit students directly out of high school.
