Yard Games

Catalog description

Yard games are usually those activities enjoyed while picnicking with family and friends. For many, they are both the first and last physical games in life that can be learned, enjoyed, and played skillfully: where old can compete evenly against young; where the physically challenged can take on the physically gifted; where finishing second is as enjoyable as winning. RIT Yard Games is mixed program with an Olympic-style format. A smorgasbord of activities will go on simultaneously in one location, either indoors or out depending on weather. Kan Jam, Corn Hole, the Washers game, Ladder golf/ball, and Bocce will be the core activities for all classes, while Badminton, Pickleball, and other miscellaneous tossing games will be included indoors. Students will have the opportunity to enjoy at least three different games per class, with both chosen and new partners. The history and rules of each game will be presented, and students will be able to keep personal-best records while evaluating the enjoyment and challenge factor of each activity. **Fee: A course fee applied via SFS bill. See Course Notes for course fee information.**
