LOL..I teach 7th grade and that sounds like an unusual way to sharpen your skills.
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. [/B]
Interesting...I do the same thing with my 7th graders during our "elective" time. Most kids like it...I even let them read the situations to me and they get to "quiz" me...that's when it gets fun for them.
