COURSE DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this course is to provide learning experiences that will lead to the development of basic skills in team sports. In addition to skill acquisition, the course will focus on how to plan and implement the four stages of skill development in games through the use of extending, refining, and application tasks. An emphasis will be placed on the use of the game stages and movement framework as a guide for designing a variety of sport game experiences for students in grades 5-12.
Students will be expected to achieve an intermediate level of skill in the selected team sports. Practice outside of class time and individual tutoring may be necessary for some students to achieve the expected performance level.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Although the Longwood attendance policy will not be used in grading this course, attendance is considered essential. This is a skills class, and ability to perform sports skills improves only with practice. In addition, because the content involves team sports, it is important that enough students attend each day in order to assure that there are enough players for the different games. In other words, your attendance, or lack of it, will affect the opportunities that your classmates have to learn these skills. Bottom line: Please try hard to attend every day.
DRESS
Though there is no required uniform, students should come everyday dressed to participate in activity. We will go outside during inclement whether so dress accordingly on those days. The most important item of clothing is shoes. When we are in the gymnasium, please where basketball/tennis type shoes. When we are participating in field sports you may use rubber or plastic spiked shoes. No metal cleats please.
Though class will start each day at the designated hour, I will try to dismiss class 10 minutes early so that you may shower and change. If you have any questions about the availability of lockers or the locker room facilities, please see the instructor.
ACCOMODATIONS
Students needing accommodations for disabilities should contact the instructor and the Longwood University Learning Center.
HONOR CODE
I firmly believe that academic integrity is the lifeblood of higher education. As such, students are expected to comply with all aspects of the Longwood University honor code. Please be aware that I will report Honor Code violations.
"HOMEWORK"
The purpose of this class is to become skillfull players of eight different sports. This is almost an impossible task if you use only the time designated for class. Students who are truly interested in becoming competent in these eight sports MUST plan on practicing OUTSIDE of class! Students are encouraged to help and tutor each other in this area.
