can benefit them by not only becoming acquainted with the sport but also by attributing to
skills that can be translated into daily life. some of these skills include the importance of
safety when participating in a sport, spatial awareness, teamwork, as well as coordination
and strength that comes from appropriately manipulating a ball. Skills that relate to
strength and coordination can help with day to day occurrences like posture, health, and
endurance. Coordination with teammates can further allow students to practice and
recognize the importance of respecting one another and recognize the strength that comes
