Format
of Class:

*Warm-up

*Teach Skills & activities
*Closing discussion (circle time)
Warm-up:
Students
must always warm-up before they stretch.
When we warm-up we deliver oxygen to the working muscles, increase
heart-rate, blood flow, body and muscle temperature, and elongate muscle
fibers. Once the body begins to
perspire, we are ready to stretch. There
are many activities, which can be used to get the students warmed up.
Benefits
of Stretching:
Stretching is the only way
to improve flexibility. Stretching can decrease the possibilities of injury,
increase self-awareness, and enhance athletic performance. Providing students with a structural
stretching routine is key to improving flexibility and preparing students for
physical activity.
