Essentially, we will be using games and sport to improve our overall fitness. Units in this course could include, but are not limited to, flag football, basketball, ultimate frisbee. Grading in this class will be based upon effort, application of exercise, recognition and application of differing energy systems as well as the ability to construct a workout based on the exercises learned during the course.
