Additional Information:
In the fourth year students will be encouraged to complete a field placement experience where they can share their expertise in games, dance, exercise and fitness and/or particular subject areas such
as biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor learning, etc. Ideally the field placement will be in the school setting and during the day, but some may fall in after-school hours. Alternative placements would be in a community recreation program such as the YMCA or Boys and Girls Club. (Note: See Records Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening policy).

Students who wish to pursue a focus in coaching could choose to take the Kinesiology 4410A Introduction to Coaching and Kinesiology 4411Y Coaching Practicum combination where they will have the opportunity to experience hands-on coaching.

Prior to graduation it is recommended that students complete Education 2200E and 0.5 Writing course.
