complex skills necessary for specific sports participation.
- With skill acquisition and playing "team sports", students will
develop greater interest in doing out of school activities that can lead
to a healthier life style. Students will also be aware of their
relationship between being active and physical fitness.
- Students will realize the importance of teamwork; they will
demonstrate cooperative skills in both competitive and non-competitive
group activities.
- Students will be responsible for a safe and healthy environment.
They will follow all safety rules in use of equipment and physical
surroundings. Students will also demonstrate social responsibility and
allow fellow students to experiment and participate in all activities
and support their classmates in their efforts.
