Intramurals

INTRAMURALS – grades 4 – 5. Intramurals are an opportunity for boys and girls to participate on a team in game-like settings. Intramurals will meet after school from 2:45 - 4:00 on Mondays at various times throughout the year. Signups will be available in Fitness class.

Benefits of participating in sports:

● Builds confidence. When playing a sport, children have the opportunity to show their skills, gain greater self-awareness, and enjoy an activity that they love the most.

● Provides consistent exercise. Most kids have too much screen time and not enough hands-on activity. Team sports commits your child to regular exercise, which helps boost immunity and contributes to overall physical health.

● Develops relationships. Children build friendships with other children and their coaches, which is a great way for your child to expand their social skills and understand expectations.

● Contributes to stronger academics. Children who play team sports are more apt to stronger academic achievement. Through sports, kids learn the importance of time management and discipline.

● Helps put winning into perspective. This can be a real sore subject for some kids. Participating in team sports gives kids the opportunity to gain an understanding of both winning and losing, as well as the recognize the value of every teammates’ abilities in contributing toward a shared goal.

● Teaches respect. In team sports, children learn to respect other authoritative figures, such as coaches, referees and umpires, as well as their peers.

● Encourages family involvement. Your child is not the only one who will benefit from participation in team sports. Moms, dads and siblings can practice plays, attend games and cheer each other on, providing a bonding opportunity for the whole family.
