9th Grade PE

This course is an introduction to upper school physical education. It will include components from each of the elective courses offered at Overlake.

Our main objectives in this course are to: 

1. give our students the opportunity to explore different aspects of physical education in order to give them more intentional options for future PE classes
2. conduct specific fitness tests in order to determine areas of strength and weakness
3. help students demonstrate competency in a variety of motor skills
4. help students apply knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics related to movement and performance
5. encourage students to demonstrate the knowledge and skill necessary to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness

All 9th graders will be placed in this course and there is an option to take this course during the school day and at the zero block hour.
