My Project

As educators, we are always looking for ways to engage students and increase student learning and enjoyment. Part of the PE curriculum is Volleying; Nine Square is a fun new game for all ages. It is a twist on the classic school-grounds game "four square" combined with modified volleyball!

This new and exciting piece of equipment will be used to help develop many skills and attributes we focus on in elementary PE, volleying, hand-eye coordination, passing, strategizing, defense, while simultaneously learning to cooperate and resolve conflict.

This set up can be used and modified for all ages in the elementary school and will be an exciting addition to our program. Thank you for your support!
