LOL..I teach 7th grade and that sounds like an unusual way to sharpen your skills. [/B]
The kids enjoy it. They can tell when I talk about officiating how much I love it so it gets them interested. Also, this year I have a class that's a little more into athletics than previous years. We talk a lot about sportsmanship and once in a while I have them act out plays. At least 1/7 of the 5th graders in my town will have some understanding of the rules and sportsmanship when they get to middle school and high school.
