The goal of our Athletics and Physical Education programming is to engage students in moderate to vigorous physical activity through enjoyable activities and healthy competition, promote lifelong fitness, and develop personal and social responsibility. Our hope is that students who leave our program with these skills will contribute in a positive way to their community.
K - 2nd Grade
By stressing the joy and rewards of physical activity, behaviors can be developed that last a lifetime. The majority of activities for younger children are individual in nature and center on learning movement concepts through theme development. Children learn movement principles and body management skills at the level.
3rd - 4th Grade
Refinement of fundamental skills and initial specialized skill are emphasized. Practicing a variety of manipulate skills enhances visual-tactile coordination. Children are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create activities without fear. Students are taught the how and why of activity patterns. Cooperation with peers is encouraged with more emphasis placed on group and team play. Initial instruction in sport skills begins here. Sport lead-up activities are utilized so youngsters can apply newly learned skills in a small group setting.
5th - 8th Grade
Here, activities shift toward specialized skills and sport activities. Flag football, basketball, soccer, softball, volleyball, and floor hockey are added to the sports offerings. Students continue learning and improving sport skills while participating in cooperative sport lead-up games. Less emphasis is placed on movement concept activities. Adequate time is set aside for the rhythmic program, body management skills, and gymnastics. Fitness routines are offered with instruction focused on helping students make decisions about personal approaches to maintaining fitness levels.
