The Active Schools Program is about promoting physical
fitness to school age students and it works in 2 steps.
The 1st step of the
program is the Active Schools Team would pay a visit to your school during a
normal gym period. Windsor Squash and Fitness Club’s squash pro Graeme Williams
would instruct the students in the basic skills needed to play the game of
squash. This part of the program prepares the students with a better
understanding for the 2nd part of the program when the class takes a field trip
to Windsor Squash and Fitness Club at a later date. Squash is a fun and enjoyable game for all
ages and is ranked by Forbes magazine as the healthiest sport to play. By the
end of the gym class, students would be able to perform squash rallies and
small games as the pictures below demonstrate.
Windsor
Squash and Fitness Club provides all of the necessary equipment (racquets,
balls, safety glasses and pylons) and this year there will be a cost of only $2.00 per students when the Active Schools Team visits your school.
The 2nd step of the program would be
a class field trip to Windsor Squash and Fitness Club. When the students come
to Windsor Squash, they will have the opportunity to play squash on the squash
courts, as well as, experience two other different physical fitness classes.
Generally these classes are (aerobic /spinning/ circuit training), but can be tailored to meet
the needs of the students. The program runs a full morning from about 9am to
11:30am roughly. All classes are done by certified personal trainers. In addition, fruit and refreshments are provided.
This part of the program costs $6.50 per student. The target age for this program is
Grade 4 to Grade 12.
