The goal of the Physical Education Program at Seymour Middle School is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. Physical Education is a requirement for all Seymour Middle School students and the classes will be held on either A days or B days.
During the middle school years students refine the basic motor skills and movement patterns, learned in our elementary schools, into more specific sports related skills and strategies. The sport offerings during the middle school years give students a chance to not only to learn and practice skills in isolation, but also opportunities to use them in actual game like situations using basic strategies.
The activities completed throughout the year in the middle school physical education classes are divided into four units of study which include invasion, net, striking/fielding and individual lifetime activities. Each of these categories represents games and activities that are similar in structure.
