This is a semester course that is both sport and fitness-based. First, this class will have a strength and conditioning component.

The fundamentals of various sports will also be taught in a developmentally appropriate and safe manner. Students will learn the basic skills needed in soccer, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, floor hockey, speedball, flag football, and ultimate frisbee.
