High School League®

ComedySportz High School League®

The ComedySportz High School League® is the largest, most successful improv training program for high school students in the country.


Fun. Transformational.

ComedySportz High School League® empowers students to create their own theatre and nourishes their communication skills through improvisational theatre workshops and performances.  It encourages their individuality and provides the forum to succeed or fail in a safe environment that combines showmanship and sportsmanship.  The League provides an extracurricular activity that goes beyond stage work into everyday situations.  And the students just think they’re having fun!

We play improvisation as a team sportwith two teams “competing” for audience laughs. The stage is covered in turf, there’s a referee and the players are in uniform. It’s not comedy about sports; it’s comedy played as a sport. Because everyone knows what a sport is, there is immediate buy-in from the audience. People who have never been to the theatre before walk through the door because they’re not intimidated. Because it’s improvisational, it’s always different, and you will have fans that come to every performance.

It is amazing life-skill training for your kids, but we don’t tell them or none of them would sign up.

They think they’re just having fun. However, we’ve found the experience can be transforming

  • We train your kids to produce their own improv theatre production.
  • An adult professional coach is assigned to your school all year so that your kids feel comfortable and so that you have a colleague who will work with you to help your kids grow.
  • Once your show is launched, you can perform it as often or little as you would like. It’s a revenue opportunity for your school and your program.
  • We train your student managers to step up as leaders.
  • Once the tradition is started, the returning kids will lead and teach the newer kids, and the process becomes even easier.

Testimonials:

“Our daughter has not only developed performance skills, but has improved her self esteem, poise, leadership skills and responsibility. She has learned to think on her feet and how to function as part of a team. Thank you for your tireless dedication.”

“Let me just say that Jesse loves this. And he’s loved the classes in the past. He’s a walking poster child for the benefits of improvisation. You probably don’t know this, but he’s on the autistic spectrum just a bit and used to have a significant lack of social skills. ComedySportz was on the of the first keys to changing all that and he’s blossomed since his first class. I could was on aout how it’s helped him develop humor, empathy, dealing with surprise, transitions, how to appropriately interact with others, and built his confidence, but really, I just want to tell you that what you are doing is very, very important. Thanks so much for making this possible!”
