Fall 2019 Session

The HLA Fall Session has a Physical Activity focus. HLA Teens will lead groups of elementary school students in Physical Activity games once-a-week afterschool. We will be doing the CATCH curriculum of games, which are a ton of fun to play, and very easy to explain.

It was a ton of fun, and we hope everyone will join us next year!
