Footwear & Clothing

It is desired that each student arrives to classes wearing athletic shoes that are appropriate for physical activity on a wooden gym floor. These types of shoes can either be worn right from home or brought to school in a bag. Students will always have the opportunity to change into appropriate footwear prior to classes. If a student arrives to a class with footwear that may increase the risk of injury, then I will have them sit out as a safety precaution. As for clothing, each student should wear whatever will be comfortable for them while moving around.
