Course Syllabus

Sports Education

(Physical Education Quarter Elective Course)

Syllabus

Sports Education is a traditional games-based physical education course and is grounded in a high-level of aerobic, cardiovascular movement. The focus is on team or partner sports and will include instruction in a minimum of four of these activities: ultimate frisbee, flag football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, speedball, street/floor hockey, badminton, tennis or pickleball. 

Students should dress to be active. Sneakers are required to participate in this class and participation is a measure of effort for the course. As stated previously, there is a high level of physical activity in this course.

All activities and lessons will be driven by these three national physical education standards:

Standard 3, Standard 4 and Standard 5.

The National Physical Education Standards
