Dutch Broadway School students are building their soccer skills while staying active and having fun during physical education sessions with teachers Debra Bennett, Tim Smith and James Mauro, a new PE team member.
According to a news release from the district, younger students are learning teamwork, coordination and basic movements, while upper-grade students are advancing to more complex techniques such as ball control, dribbling drills and understanding game zones.
Sessions often conclude with mindfulness-based cooldowns, the news release said, that align with the school’s daily mindfulness breathing and yoga exercises, helping students relax and reset before returning to class.
