About:
Our “Varsity Athletes in Elementary PE” program began this year as a pilot program in our Alice Freeman Palmer Elementary PE classes. The intent is to showcase some of our high school athletic programs and generate more interest and participation in those programs. We also are providing an opportunity for our student-athletes to take on a leadership and mentor role. So far this year elementary PE teacher Mike Potenza has hosted varsity athletes for his bowling, field hockey and basketball units. In this particular case, KJ assisted Coach Potenza for an hour and a half in three classes. He told them why he loves basketball and showed them a few drills and skills. He then played with them. He, like all of our varsity student-athletes, was excited about the opportunity to work with the younger students and the day was extremely positive for all involved.
We started the program in January and so far about 8 athletes have participated with 3 more sessions planned before the end of the year.
