The activities exposed students to the beginning components of skills that will be needed to particiapte in structured games [and competitive sports] in later years. While they may seem very basic, they are the building blocks needed to develop more complex skills. We try to have fun teaching and learning them by making the activities as interesting as possible!!!!
