The Move program is a physical education program created to provide introductory fitness activities to encourage the development of balance, strength, cardio (endurance) skills for teens. Through a variety of sports activities like spikeball, crossnet, pickleball, and other fun sports, students will have a variety of opportunities to experiment with new activities that will help them elevate their heart rate, build muscle and learn more about their body's need for nutrition to fuel the activity. The focus of this program is to help students develop a habit of fitness and learn the importance of physical fitness in a fun, safe and group atmosphere.

The Move program is built to provide a Physical Education (PE) component to your child's weekly schedule. This program will be a two day per week (Tuesday & Thursday 2:00pm- 3:45pm) program with an at home component. Activities will include a variety of sports related activities that may include cycling, running, indoor basketball, basic weight training and introduction to sports nutrition. The goal of this class is to encourage students to elevate their heart rate every week to establish a habit of fitness through these activities and to create a social fitness group for participants. This is not a team sports event and will not require attending regulated sports events. So no Saturday morning games every week.
There will also be self directed home activities that the student will accomplish on their own time to continue building their fitness habits. No special equipment needed.

Developing fitness habits at home is a challenge for teens. If they aren't involved in team sports, this is a great way to start getting their heart rate up to benefit from cardio and strength conditioning in a fun environment. We all remember our PE class and perhaps it was 2nd to lunch time as your favorite part of the day. The Move program was created to help add a fitness component to your child's customized education experience. As they develop into young men and women, they need to increase physical activity on a regular basis. The Move program will help them develop fitness habits and create a great social connection opportunities.
We'll be using fitbit style technology to help track fitness metrics like heart rate to monitor activity levels and also have goal setting to help students challenge themselves. Various locations will be used for this class including Helder Park 3751 104th ave, downtown Zeeland and other locations that will be determined.
