Physical Activity Participation

We have an after school intramural program for all the students in the school. Our four sports are basketball, flag football, volleyball and soccer and are offered with the help of teacher (volunteers) . We have 50 to 60 students participating three days a week for 60 minutes. It has been very successful.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Without the help of the principal and teachers, this would not have been a success.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

More students walking and running and buying equipment (shoes, pedometers, etc.) to exercise for at least 60 minutes a day.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Wonderful! The students and adults love it!
