Course Description:

All students in grades 9-12 are required to take physical education. All classes are coeducational. Emphasis is placed on activities that are high in carry-over values for leisure time use. All classes are considered an overall important part of the total curriculum. Students are given the opportunity to help plan, conduct, and evaluate the program. It is the department’s goal to assist each student to learn as many leisure time skills as possible, and aid all students in obtaining a high degree of physical fitness. In addition, it is our goal to provide students with an understanding of the nature of physical fitness, and to impress upon them the health benefits of such activities.

Course Objectives:

• Acquire skills necessary to play the activities with enjoyment, safety & satisfaction

• To learn the history, rules and strategy associated with the activity
