Description: In this workshop participants will be exposed to activities designed to take your program to a new level!  Have you ever wondered how you could teach racket sports such as tennis and badminton in limited space in your gym…with no net and limited equipment?  What about archery…think there is no way you could make this work in your gymnasium with your wide range of ages/ability levels.  Need an activity to improve student collaboration, teamwork, fair play and get even the least athletic moving?  Then an ALL-games tournament is exactly what you need!  These are just a few of the activity’s participants will learn about during this session
