Description: Motivating middle/high schoolers to get moving can be a daunting task.  In this workshop we will explore some different modalities designed to get ALL students active, especially the non-athletic!  We will learn some modified sport games like “Chinese” ping-pong, Basketbowl, aerobic bowling, volleyball 4-square and sideline soccer then look at creative interval training stations for all size classes!  

Participants should dress for activity (comfortable clothes/tennis shoes) and may want a water bottle to re-fil.
