Options for the 2011 World Scholar-Athlete Games will include: Attending a reading by an acclaimed author "under the tent" (a special Scholar-Athlete Games tradition). Playing in a "fun game" such as volleyball, touch football, softball or three-on-three basketball. Listening to a "warm up performance" by the Scholar-Athlete Games Choir or Symphony. "Hanging out" with other scholar-athletes and scholar-artists at the designated "relaxation area", where featured speakers of the day are on hand to engage in discussion and Q & A.
