| Outstanding coach/educators from the FIRST (Fit Individuals through Recreation and Sports Training)program in partnership with Olympic Governing Bodies present a
school/community-based program that immerses youth in participation/competition in alternative Olympic sports: fencing, table tennis, badminton, team handball, in-line/skateboard, cycling, others. Clinicians will teach participants highly successful curriculum for physical education, conduct focused intramurals and after-school programs, and link to community facilities/programs for practice and competition.
