Physical activity is an essential part of health and wellness. All students are encouraged to participate in some form of physical activity or join various sports teams. Maimonides Academy understands that competitive sports teams contribute to the overall character development of a child including: learning the value of teamwork, improving athletic skills and coordination, setting goals, dedication to hard work, experience the "not quitting" attitude, become more sportsmanlike in victory and defeat, and last but not least, have fun along the way.
