Emphasis is placed on fitness awareness, motor skill development, safety techniques, group cooperation, sportsmanship, responsibility, and respect. Students are working to refine skills in lifetime activities such as badminton, pickleball, and one wall handball. These units are activities in which both the young and old can participate. Badminton is being played as doubles and in a tournament formation. One wall handball is a game very similar to racquetball but without the racquets.
Students use techniques, strategies, and teamwork to earn points.
Pickleball is a miniaturized game of tennis with similar rules. The game was created in 1965 by three men from Seattle, Washington as a sport for the entire family to play. Students are taught various skills that they can perform and proper techniques for spotting their classmates. Golf is a unit where students work on grip on the golf club, stance, addressing the golf ball, and swing techniques. Also, students will learn about par for courses, number of clubs in a golf bag, scoring terminology, and etiquette.
