Physical Education
Hello, welcome to Physical Education. In this class we will spend a lot of time discussing physical activity and the importance of it. We will also spend time working on lifetime activities that will hopefully inspire you and teach you something new about physical activity. I will also cover some basic fundamental skills such as throwing, catching, and kicking. We will work on strength training and I will teach you different exercises that will help you increase your strength whether you want to buff up or just tone. Finally, I will give you the opportunity to participate in many different activities and sports throughout the class.

The pairs of students will line up at the beginning of the course. One at a time, a pair of students will dribble and pass down the field. When they reach a defending zone, they will maneuver to complete the pass to their partner. Once they have passed through both zones, they will practice dribbling and passing back to the start line and begin again. Change the defenders periodically throughout the activity.
