There will be 26 classes in the gym over the nine week course equaling 65 hours. With or without a note from your doctor you must be present and active for 40 of those hours to pass the ‘physical activity’ portion of the course.
W We will be doing a physical warm up at the beginning of most classes involving a jog and a stretch. Participation will be marked.
W We will be doing strength and endurance training three or more times a week. Participation will be marked.
W Students will be given “free” time in the gym to play games or practice skills. If you are active during this time it will improve your mark. If you are not it will lower your mark.
W We will be reviewing and practicing skills associated with each of the sports, and we will be playing organized games. Participation will be marked.
The plan at this point is to work on basic skills and playing games in the following sports.
