TEAM SPORTS

Course Overview:

This team sports class is designed for students who enjoy high energy activities and can work with others on teams of different sizes. This class will place an emphasis on several different types of sports including basketball, touch football, ultimate frisbee, soccer, softball, team handball, floor hockey, and volleyball.   All Team Sports students will also participate in the Presidential Fitness testing the first week of the quarter and end of semester.  Students will be presented with the rules and regulations of the sport and practice the skills to be successful at each sport. You will have opportunities to take a leadership role as a captain or a team member to make your team successful. Team Sports should be an enjoyable class for all. The enjoyment of team sports comes from challenging yourself physically and rising to meet that challenge, social interaction, an improvement in physical fitness, friendly competition and cooperation in activities and an understanding of movement, conditioning and technique principles associated with sports and activities. The student should also develop an appreciation of the value of fitness and have adequate information to form a basis for starting and continuing a lifetime fitness program.   Students will participate in a fitness program in the weight room twice a week to understand the safety and basic fundamentals of lifting.
