Physical Activity Participation, Student Leadership,  Teamwork

Nine teams with 10 players each competed in a student vs. staff kickball tournament. Each team played a minimum of two games. The Health and Wellness student club raised funds for their club. The students demonstrated leadership through promotion and planning for the event. The students organized and led the entire event. We had student volunteers to help set up, ref games, and promote Fuel Up to Play 60.

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

The kickball tournament gained a lot of interest from the student body as well as staff. Many heard about how much fun the participants had and have already asked to play in the tournament next year. We plan to make this an annual tournament.
