Physical Education: Grade 9

FRESHMEN PHYSICAL EDUCATION and HEALTH

PE01 – 1/2 Credit - 1/2 Year

Health and Wellness is a main priority for all Nauset students. Freshmen PE gives each incoming 9th grader the ability to experience physical activity in a stress free and positive environment. The emphasis is put on improving physical fitness and adding movement to the student’s school day. Activities include but are not limited to pickleball, soccer, volleyball, badminton, basketball, cooperative games and more! Each student will be able to experience a multitude of physical activities while also growing socially in a team based environment relying on communication skills. 

During the health portion of the course, students will focus on learning the main components of health as well and applying them to their everyday lives. Using the Michigan Model Health curriculum, students will explore the areas related to physical, social, and mental health as well as decision making and goal setting. Ultimately these skills will be connected to topics including tobacco, alcohol and substance abuse as well as risk taking behaviors.
