For the intervention semester, Students will receive the 6-weeks of 30-minute small group sessions spent establishing and checking in on goals on a goal-setting worksheet. The program will be delivered during the school's lunch period. Students will get 15 minutes…

This group will participate in Hoosier Sport lessons without goal-setting programming. Instead, students will receive a small health pamphlet with information on the benefits of physical activity and setting goals around physical activity.
