Sports and Alternative Education
Contrary to popular belief, students in Alternative Education programs/schools have the potential to excel in school sports. However, this potential often goes untapped due to the lack of sports facilities and coaching staff unless they are part of a school or district that values their participation. Whether or not the district or the community makes these determinations, they are impactful for several reasons.
This week, we discuss how students can participate in school sports and club sports - or other venues that offer them a chance to participate and enjoy the experience, if not to shine. What are the options? What are the effects? What are the obstacles, and how can they be overcome?
