by HOKALI DescriptionSpeech and Debate is an extracurricular activity that focuses on competitive public speaking and debate. Students engage in various events, such as persuasive speaking, extemporaneous speaking, and impromptu speaking, along with different types of debate, including policy debate, Lincoln-Douglas debate, and public forum debate.
The primary goal of Speech and Debate is to develop students' communication and critical thinking skills. Through competition, they learn to present and defend ideas, analyze arguments, and respond effectively.
Participation in Speech and Debate also builds confidence, enhances research skills, and increases knowledge about current events and social issues. It’s a fun and rewarding experience, offering students the chance to meet peers from other schools and develop lasting friendships.
Overall, Speech and Debate equips students with valuable skills and experiences applicable in many aspects of life. Sports & FitnessFlag Football
by HOKALI DescriptionLearning flag football focuses on speed, skill, and teamwork in a safer, non-contact version of American football. Key elements include:
Understanding the Rules: Flag football uses similar rules to tackle football, but players are downed by flag pulls instead of tackles.
Physical Fitness: Players develop agility, speed, and endurance.
Offensive Strategies: Learn positions like quarterback, receiver, and running back, along with passing, catching, and running.
Defensive Techniques: Master flag-pulling and defensive strategies.
Teamwork: Effective communication and coordination are essential for success.
Flag football teaches valuable skills and knowledge in a fun, fast-paced game!
Sports & FitnessGymnastics
by HOKALI DescriptionGymnastics lessons are designed to teach the skills, techniques, and routines of gymnastics, a sport that involves exercises requiring strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, and control. Here's what these lessons typically involve:
Warm-up and Stretching: Lessons usually start with a warm-up and stretching exercises to prepare the body for the physical demands of gymnastics and prevent injuries.
Basic Skills: Beginners learn fundamental skills such as rolls, handstands, cartwheels, and basic jumps.
Apparatus Training: As students progress, they start training on different gymnastics apparatus. For women, this includes the uneven bars, balance beam, floor, and vault. For men, this includes the floor, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar.
Strength and Flexibility Training: Gymnastics requires significant strength and flexibility. Regular classes will often involve exercises designed to enhance these physical attributes.
Routines and Choreography: As students become more proficient, they learn to perform choreographed routines that combine various skills and movements.
Balance and Coordination: Many exercises and routines in gymnastics are designed to improve balance and coordination.
The goal of gymnastics lessons is to help students learn and master gymnastic skills, improve their physical fitness, express themselves through movement, and potentially prepare for competitive gymnastics. STEM/STEAMRobotics
by HOKALI DescriptionSTEM robotics involves integrating the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to design, construct, program, and operate robots. It often involves teaching students how to use computer programming to control robots, which can range from simple remote-controlled devices to complex autonomous machines.
Here's a bit more about what each component entails:
Science: Students apply scientific concepts such as physics (motion, force, energy) and mathematics to design effective robots.
Technology: Robotics technology includes components like sensors, processors, and communication devices. Students may also learn about various software tools used for designing and programming robots.
Engineering: Students use engineering principles to design and build physical robot models, selecting and combining materials and components to achieve desired functionality.
Mathematics: Mathematics plays a key role in programming and controlling robots, particularly in areas like geometry and algebra. Students use mathematical reasoning to predict the movement and behavior of robots.
Ultimately, STEM robotics is about understanding and creating sophisticated technology, but also about using this technology to solve problems and make life better. It's a field that's at the forefront of technological progress, with applications in areas like manufacturing, healthcare, exploration, and more. Sports & FitnessPickleball
by HOKALI DescriptionPickleball is a fun, fast-paced sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. In this class, students will:
Learn the rules of the game, including scoring, serving, and the non-volley zone (kitchen).
Develop key skills like forehand and backhand strokes, volleys, and dinking.
Improve movement and strategy to anticipate plays and gain an advantage on the court.
Practice teamwork and sportsmanship while playing friendly matches.
Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class is a great way to stay active and have fun!
