Course Description: The Intermediate High School physical education program is an introduction to a wide variety of lifetime individual and teaming activities. These include swimming strokes, water safety, water sports, and racquet sports. Additionally, cooperative challenges, indoor court, and field sports are introduced with an emphasis on teaming methods. Students will learn proper training techniques and various programs to best utilize a fitness center in the areas of lifetime weight training and aerobic fitness.
