Abstract: This study sought to assess the feasibility to establish Special Program in Sports (SPS) at Mangelen Integrated School (MIS), Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province. The initiative aims to address the growing needs of student-athletes by providing specialized training in swimming. The proposed program aims to integrate hands-on athletic training with academic instruction, thereby equipping students for higher-level competitions and potential careers in sports-related fields. Moreover, this study employed a mixed-methods research design, integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches to gather comprehensive data. Surveys, KIIs, and FGD were conducted to assess the feasibility and demand of the SPS program. Findings indicated a high level of interest and support from both learners and parents, validating the existence of a strong potential market for the program. However, successful implementation will require substantial resource enhancement, collaboration with sports-related institutions, and systematic planning to address infrastructural requirements. While challenges such as funding and resource acquisition were identified, these can be addressed through strategic stakeholder engagement, targeted recruitment efforts, and diversified financial support. With careful budget management and the pursuit of external funding sources, the SPS program is deemed financially sustainable and capable of delivering significant, long-term benefits to students and the wider school community.
