Athletics: Sports
Sports classes teach the fundamentals of each particular sport. Teaching drills instills confidence, while games demand cooperative teamwork. All participants are placed in appropriate groups, with emphasis on building self-esteem in a non-competitive, fun atmosphere that enhances fitness.
