With Covid, we are looking to have students outdoors more often. We currently have a basketball court without any goals. Students ask all the time about getting basketball goals. I believe that with these basketball goals and music, student participation will increase and behavior issues will decrease. They will be used with grades Kindergarten through 5th grades. We will work on skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. We will work on team building activities that teach good sportsmanship and teamwork. The speaker will be used to play music during warm-ups which usually consists of walking and exercising.
