Course Description
Physical activity is critical to the development and maintenance of good health. The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of physical activity. During each unit the students will complete a written assessment based on the sports history, rules, critical features and offensive and defensive strategies. The students will learn the movement patterns that correlate with the unit and be assessed on their skill improvement. Each week the students will participate in a cardiorespiratory day. The students will gain the knowledge on how to lead a healthy and active life in the future. The goal for each student should be to apply the knowledge they learn in class into their daily life.
