- Weeks 1-4: All About Me...Getting to Know Who I Am and What I Stand For!
- Weeks 5-8: Building My Team...Understanding the Importance of Cooperation
- Weeks 9-10: Community Begins with Me...Learning About Community and Designing Our Own Community Project
Each session focuses on a particular lesson, such as "Valuing What's Really Important," "Learning to Listen," and "Standing Up for Myself" and is structured as follows:
- Each session begins with a warm-up activity that introduces the girls to the day's topic.
- The warm-up is followed by a stretching routine that allows for a topic-related question and answer dialogue.
- During the workout period, the girls participate in a variety of running activities that utilize a game or a team goal.
- Afterwards, cool-down stretching is combined with a review and discussion of the day's lesson that encourages participant questions.
- Each session closes with positive words from the girls' coaches regarding individual and group behaviors.
