Sports Ball sports
Joy, community and mastery
Did you never get enough activity and sports at school? Get ready for a year of sporting fun, excitement and challenges. Sometimes dogged effort and pouring sweat. Other times, close duels and thrilling excitement. Sometimes victory, sometimes defeat, but always a little cheer, laughter, well-being and happy smiles.
The sporting focus is on ball sports and versatility, but the aim is for you to develop as a person and athlete, and experience the joy of activity, community and mastery. Throughout the year, you will also gain some experience as an instructor, organizer, official and referee.
Versatility
The form of activity will vary between play, training, games, competitions/matches and tournaments. You'll get to try a wide range of different sports throughout the year, and you'll get to try your hand at outdoor activities. There is a lot of fantastic nature in the areas around the school. You'll have the opportunity to do everything from hiking Romsdalseggen to practicing technical details in a gym. In the immediate vicinity of the school we have a sports hall, beach volleyball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course and a football pitch with natural grass. At the school itself, we have good training rooms for strength and fitness in addition to a good gym where you can unfold with different ball sports.
We spend some time on basic training in - fitness and strength. When we do a lot of physical activity, it's important that we have a good base to build on. General and varied physical training will help to reduce the likelihood of injuries over a long year of activity.
Building the team
To build the "team" in the class, we go on trips to have shared experiences and bond with each other. Although we have good facilities in and around the school, we sometimes go on overnight trips to get a change of scenery, or to get opportunities we don't have at school. Throughout the year, you'll help create an environment where it's easy to try new things and where we cheer each other on no matter what level you're at in the different sports we try.
