Welcome to PE tennis! Although the emphasis will be on learning the different parts of the tennis game (groundstrokes, serves, volleys/overheads, lead up games and match play), we will also participate in various PE games as well as participate in conditioning activities in preparation for Fitnessgram testing. Students are expected to wear appropriate clothing and tennis shoes for safe participation. If a student can’t participate safely, the student will walk for the period. In this class, a student’s grade is based on participation. If the student can’t participate in the activity for the day, it will be denoted in the student’s grade.
Students who wish to have a locker, can have one checked out to them. The locker will come with a school-issued lock. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure it is locked at all times. The replacement cost of a lock is $7.00. Misbehavior in the locker room will result in the student’s removal from the locker room for a period of two weeks. After this reset in behavior, the student will be allowed admittance again. If problems persist, they will be dealt with on an individual basis.
If your child cannot participate for some reason, please send a note. If the excuse note is for more than three days, please send a doctor’s note. We will go outside as long as the temperature/wind chill is above 32 degrees. Please have a jacket/hoodie as temperatures cool down. Students may bring their own rackets, but having one is not a requirement of the class.
