This club is actually meant to be a social/athletic/community club all in one. It will pair Special Education/Bridge students with Regular Ed students and every month, we will pair with a different varsity sports team, to participate in a different fun sports activity. This way, we will build relationships, while also getting exposed to many different sports and building Churchill spirit among lots of different students, and encouraging inclusion of all. I want the events each month to draw a lot of excitement and enthusiasm among the community so that everyone is excited about the community building, exercise, sports being learned, and friendships being made!

Teach students about the three main disciplines of powerlifting, squat, bench, and deadlift. Students will learn how to perform these three movements with good form and how to train to increase the amount of weight they can lift. At the end of the year there will be a competition so students can test their strength and see how much progress they have made over the year.

The club wants to improve students' physical health as well as make them stronger. Not very intense of a lifting club. This is different from powerlifting because it's not as intense. It's not to lift as heavy as you can but just increases your weight as time goes on and you keep lifting weekly.
