There are a number of general aims that are common to all areas of sport. The most important of these are:
- To develop an awareness of the need for physical activity in maintaining good health for life.
- To encourage pupils to develop an interest in physical activity in maintaining good health for life.
- To enable pupils to develop an interest in physical activities which will provide a recreational activity once they have left school.
- To help pupils to learn how to co-operate with each other and work successfully as a member of a group.
- To develop commitment, self control and self confidence.
- To improve the motor skills of each pupil.
