Students involved in this course will be expected to participate in sports unique to the Grade 10 curriculum; touch-rugby, lacrosse, floorball, ice skating, climbing, badminton doubles, golf and tennis. A parallel focus will include muscle anatomy, general nutrition, and focused fitness training methods. Another component to this course is the Sports Leader Award, an internally-monitored program which requires students to plan, lead and reflect on three separate teaching episodes. In addition, students must complete coursework about leading a fitness or activity lesson, fair play, refereeing, unit quizzes and nutrition projects. The goal of this program is to build a greater appreciation and motivation in one’s’ own personal initiative in leading a healthy lifestyle.
