Strategy Club
Michael Hagans, Instructor
Strategy Club is a time for learning logic, wisdom, and good sportsmanship for students from 4th grade through 12th. We use board games to learn such strategic ideas as planning, knowing your opponent as well as yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and focusing on what is important rather than getting lost in the minutiae. Learning from our mistakes, congratulating our opponents, being gracious in victory, and having the versatility to change our plans when they are upset by others, are all important in Strategy Club. Logic is highly emphasized. In other words, we aim to put into practice Jesus’ command to be wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves. Club meets on Fridays after school.
