Rationale
As educators, we must do our best to coach children through the numerous pitfalls which may result in individuals missing the opportunity to experience achievement within the limits of their body's physical capabilities.
Sports Development is about giving campers the opportunity to experience the enjoyment which can be attained through sports many ups and downs in an environment designed to coach them through failure and also success.
