Students will be involved in a wide range of physical activities that will encompass both individual and team sports. Units of instruction will include activities such as weightlifting and fitness, tennis, golf, soccer, volleyball, softball, football, and basketball. Students will be expected to perform only at their own level. We will not compare students on a physical basis; rather, we will work to help each student realize a significant level of achievement by improving his knowledge of rules and skill level in each activity.
