What does LTS mean in SPORTS

Learning Through Sports (LTS) is an educational program that combines physical activity and academic learning. It emphasizes commitment, sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation, respect, and fair play in an exciting way.

LTS activities support academic concepts by providing opportunities for students to engage in hands-on activities related to the subject matter being taught. For example, a student might work on math equations while playing dodgeball or practice writing during a game of tag.

In addition to promoting physical fitness through active learning activities, LTS also develops life skills such as perseverance, resilience, leadership abilities, communication strategies, problem-solving strategies, decision-making skills, critical thinking skills and collaboration.

Yes! Research has found that incorporating physical activity into the classroom can improve student engagement levels and academic performance across different subjects such as math, language arts and science. Studies have also shown that participating in physical activity can improve focus and attention span in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

As with any form of physical activity participation in athletics carries risks including potential injuries incurred during games or exercises. Therefore it's important for teachers to ensure safety precautions are taken when implementing LTS activities.
