You must come to class properly dressed for physical activity. If you do not have proper attire you will lose your participation for that day. The following clothes are essential for safety and performance:
Athletic shoes: should NOT have an unnaturally high heel and should COMPLETELY enclose the foot. They should secure tightly around the feet to support feet and ankles.
Clothing: sweat pants/athletic shorts/ T-shirts should meet school dress code requirements. Avoid clothing that is too loose or too restrictive. If athletic shorts are worn, compression shorts must be worn underneath. If athletic leggings are worn, a shirt must completely cover the front and back – no crop tops or short shirts. Bike shorts/spandex shorts cannot be worn as athletic shorts. A sports bra is required for female students.
