intramural coordinators, and intramural directors a basis for making organizational and administrative decisions for the administration, reinforcement, and improvement of the middle school intramural program. PHILOSOPHY The middle school intramural program is an extension of the regular physical education instructional program, involving physical activity conducted before and/or after school among students in the same school. All intramural activities are treated equally in terms of resources, facilities, selection of staff, and allocation of supplies and equipment. Intramural programs should provide students with a variety of interesting, diverse, and challenging activities to accommodate differing levels of need, skill, readiness, and interests. Each school's program should be individualized to reflect the needs and interests of all its students. The primary reason for participation is enjoyment of the activity rather than pressure to compete and win. Such an environment will enable students to grow, develop positive attitudes, increase self‐esteem, enjoy positive social interactions, and broaden their leisure horizons. GOALS The middle school intramural program provides opportunities for students to: Enjoy participation and personal success Strive for personal bests, make commitments, set goals, and follow through with responsibilities Participate in an intramural program in a safe environment and under the direction of knowledgeable, caring, and trained personnel Develop creativity and provide opportunities to generate games, rules, and schedules Participate in the planning, organization, and leadership of the intramural program 4 | Page JOB DESCRIPTION INTRAMURAL COORDINATOR It is preferable that intramural coordinators be selected from personnel within the physical education department because of their knowledge of the physical education program, available equipment, facilities, and first aid, Intramural coordinators shall: Attend mandatory intramural coordinators meetings with the supervisor of Health and Physical Education.

Include a variety of intramural activities during the year that extend from the regular physical education instructional program. Be involved in the selection of intramural directors. Develop, discuss, and provide in writing with intramural directors the procedures for student attendance, eligibility, and participation in intramurals. Ensure that each intramural director has been certified in CPR and the use of the AED Provide each intramural director
