Sports Club

Friendly competition, sportsmanship and peer encouragement are found at the heart of this club. The primary focus is on teaching foundational level sports with an appreciation for the bodily/kinesthetic and spatial skills of the students. Through the physical experience of strength, coordination, suppleness, and stamina, intra/interpersonal development (social skills) of the student is reinforced through interaction with others through communication, caring, respect and sharing. Also promoted are the areas of logical and critical thinking skills through gaming strategies, cooperative problem solving, sport formations and patterns of movement and intellectual games.

These capacities are cultivated through instruction in the following sport disciplines: USTA sponsored Tennis Instruction, Softball, Basketball, Flag Football, Golf, Soccer and Track and Field. Values of respect for ability and diversity are reinforced through stretching and strengthening exercises, balancing exercises and multicultural games which will tie in to the program theme of the week.
