It is not about whether you win or lose – it’s about how we play the game! While the thrill of competition and victory is an important part of playing any sport, our goal is to encourage a life-long interest in fitness, as well as pride in having done your best.
While ÌÇÐÄVlog students and teams delight in winning, we encourage students to keep the sport in the right perspective. Coaching methods concentrate on teaching correct techniques and ‘playing the game for the game’s sake’.
