The developed program consisting of 24 sessions of sports and recreational activities was carried out in 8 weeks, each time of activities arrangement involved four procedures, namely: (1) building the perception of the rules, (2) specifying the work plan and starting the operation, (3) reflecting results of the processes, and (4) assessing the outcomes.
