The most challenging aspect of teaching elementary football skills is keeping every student safe. With the equipment we received from Fuel Up To Play 60, we are able to safely teach lifelong football skills and activities with a high level of engagement.  As I walked around monitoring different football stations, I over heard some fifth grade students saying "Yes, Finally Football". They were used to not being able play football drills do to high rates of accidents. After receiving the curriculum and equipment we are able to bring football back to our school and the students love it!
