S.N.A.G. Golf in PE

Students will participate in the S.N.A.G. golf program this week in Coach Every’s PE classes. SNAG is an acronym for (Starting New At Golf) it also refers to the Velcro targets and felt tennis balls used for the program. The putters called Rollers are made of plastic and are much larger than a normal putter. The only other club the students will be using is called the Launcher, the equivalent of a pitching wedge but it is much lighter and larger. The unit will consists of putting and chipping lessons for the younger students and our 4th graders will add on the skills of pitching, the full swing and play out a few holes using the SNAG targets on our field. This unit is always exciting for our students and provides a great introduction to game as well as reinforcing the fundamentals of real golf. This week is sure to be a hole-in-one!

4 - Square

Coach Every’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students will learn and play the game of 4 – Square. We will learn all the skills and tactics involved within this great playground game. An integral component to the game is the adherence to all the rules and conflict resolution. Our students learn strategies that help them referee their own games democratically and fairly.

Our Kindergarten and First Grade students will head back into the Mini-Gym to work on another round of our motor development program. Tracking and catching will be a constant focus throughout the week.
