Students are expected to participate at all times to the best of their ability, while working with others, in a safe and comfortable environment. Each student will develop physical skills, tactical knowledge, and cooperative social skills as a way to stay healthy, while learning various games. Moreover, they will be exposed to multiple paths to take care of their bodies while focusing on each of the components of fitness.
