This course is a combination of both theory and practical. Students will explore ways in which movement can create positive opportunities for people and look at ways in which they can remain active in a range of physical activity contexts. The aim of this course is to promote physical activity and the ability to participate in practical lessons is essential. The topics covered could include; skill learning, interpersonal skills, outdoor education, science around movement (eg: anatomy and biomechanics), and physical activity for life (eg: training programmes). Students participate in an overnight camp experience. This costs approximately $220.00.
