Physical Activity Participation

Students organized an after-school intramural soccer club to promote physical activity.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Facilitated with Athletic Director for use of equipment and access to field space.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We would like to continue the activity in the winter and spring seasons in the future; however, during the winter, it will be challenging to have gym space for indoor soccer sessions.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students have been motivated during the school day and excited to participate. They need to maintain their academic grades, attendance, and behavior to be eligible to play. Weekly grade check-ins and student action plans are created to address areas of concern.
