Both individual and team concepts are taught. In freshman year, an additional objective is to place the students in a more social environment away from the academic rigor where they can meet other freshmen in a more relaxed atmosphere. The following units are offered during the year for both freshman and sophomore classes, the difference between the two being that the sophomores are allotted more time for actual participation in the activities. The freshman time is allotted between explanations, demonstrations, drills, and actual participation. A course designed to improve the basic skills learned in the previous year.
More emphasis is placed on team competition and team cooperation than on basic individual skills.
