Welcome to OLGC gym website.
Ultimate frisbee has recently been added to our list of gym class activities. It is
similar to soccer, instead of kicking a ball, a fisbee is thrown. The player with the
frisbee is only allowed to take two steps.
Grades K-8 have also competed in various forms of relay races. Students will develop
team-working abilities, as well as, following directions during their respective “leg” of
the race (ie placing a ball in a basket, circling cones, waiting for one’s teammate to finish prior to starting.)
Grades K-8 will continue practicing push-ups and sit-ups, in conjunction with our daily
yoga routine. Hence, students are more likely to see improvement in the spring when we retest.
Yours in Christ;
