Program Design: Sports and physical activities are instructed by physical education majors, elementary education majors, and graduate students in the Department of Kinesiology. Children in grades K-6 participate in a range of activities such as: team sports, gymnastics, dance, cooperative activities, and we sneak in fitness in age-appropriate manners.
