Schools encourage participation in physical education and extracurricular activities both in and out of lessons. In lessons, schools offer a minimum of PE, make lessons fun, and celebrate success. Out of lessons, schools arrange competitions, sports tours, and offer qualifications. Teachers act as role models, and schools foster links with parents and community. The document also discusses different roles students can take on like coach, official, and organizer, and the benefits these roles provide, such as improving performance, developing leadership skills, and gaining organizational experience.
