Format of Class:

*Warm-up

*Stretching

*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.
