Elmont's Dutch Broadway expands P.E. program

Posted

Dutch Broadway School students are building their soccer skills while staying active and having fun during physical education sessions with teachers Debra Bennett, Tim Smith and James Mauro, a new PE team member.

According to a news release from the district, younger students are learning teamwork, coordination and basic movements, while upper-grade students are advancing to more complex techniques such as ball control, dribbling drills and understanding game zones.

Sessions often conclude with mindfulness-based cooldowns, the news release said, that align with the school’s daily mindfulness breathing and yoga exercises, helping students relax and reset before returning to class.
