Room: Gym

Activities will focus on court and field sports as well as other lifetime sports including but limited to: Ultimate Frisbee, Frisbee Golf, Badminton, Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Archery, Golf, Pickle Ball and Bowling. The class will include an emphasis on rules and regulations, performance and sportsmanship.

PHILOSOPHY:

As a Fitness and Wellness instructor, I believe every student is entitled to a quality, positive learning experience and atmosphere in their fitness and wellness class. Students will be provided with a basic understanding of exercise and how cardiovascular conditioning can occur. Students will become aware of their own bodies responses during exercise and develop an understanding of what exercises to avoid and why.

To make sure each student has a positive experience, they must be in class and participate. There are several regulations, rules, and policies that each student will need to adhere to so I can provide every student their opportunity and right to learn in a positive and safe environment. I will provide sessions where the students can improve their overall fitness level and have fun doing it.

PARTICIPATION/DRESSING DOWN

1. Do to the nature of a Physical Education class-all students will “dress down” and participate every class period, because of monitoring, safety, and liability.

“Dress Down” - each student will need to have the following physical education clothing on a daily basis:

(1) Clean court shoes (Hiking boots, street shoes are not appropriate)

(2) Crewneck/sleeve T-Shirt. No Tank tops
