Sports Leadership is designed to encourage lunchtime participation through sports activities. Student leaders will be responsible for organization and implementation of these activities with their peers.

Student leaders will learn different leadership styles, their strengths/weaknesses, communication, problem-solving, team building, trust, importance of positive attitude, and accountability.
