Students are REQUIRED to wear their PE clothes daily. PE clothes will be provided

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Team Sports will build on the concepts and activities taught in PE 1. Students will improve
and maintain personal fitness levels (cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, and flexibility), and learn life long fitness activities. Fundamentals,
skills, strategies, and rules will be taught as they connect to a variety of activities/sports.
Students will be expected to participate in activities that are both individual and team
oriented.

DAILY CLASS PROCEDURES:
Students will be dressed down no later than 5 minutes after the tardy bell in the
gym and ready for warm up.
Access to locker rooms during class will not be permitted. Use restroom and get a
drink before going to the gym.
Lockers: please use PE locker you are assigned. Do not share with others, and do
not give your combination to other students.
Keep all belongings locked in your PE locker at all times. Anything not locked up is
your responsibility.
Showers are optional. Students will have approximately 10 minutes to dress at the
end of class.
End of class: Students must stay in the locker room until dismissal bell rings.

INJURIES/EXCUSES:
If a student needs to be excused from an activity because of injury or illness, he/she will
need to provide a written note, signed and dated from their doctor. Student will have 3 class
periods to obtain the note from their doctor. All students will dress down and assist as
directed, or an alternative activity may be assigned. If you are unable to participate for an
extended period of time, you may be dropped from the class.





MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENTS:
Points are earned daily. If a student misses class for any reason he/she will lose those
points until make-up work is complete. Make-up MUST be pre-approved by the teacher or it
will not count for credit. Make up work can include an article review or one hour of
instructor approved activity [Typically PE department will hold make ups after school once
a week]. The article can be related to any sport, physical education or health topic. Make-up
assignments must be turned in before the end of the quarter for credit.
At the end of a quarter, any missed day or curriculum work not made up becomes a
permanent zero.
*NOTE: an unexcused absence or unexcused non-participation day cannot be made
up.

GRADING POLICY:
Students will be given 10 points daily (The Daily 10). These points include dressing down,
participating, and good sportsmanship. Every student begins with all 10 points and the
points will be taken away if any or all of the above criteria are not met.

**Participation grade: In order to receive credit for participation the student MUST
participate in the activity to the fullest. (i.e: if the activity is jogging, walking will result in a
loss of points)

Grading Breakdown:
Daily 10 (dressing down, participation, and sportsmanship) = 70%
Fitness testing/journal entries = 20%
Final (20 minute endurance run/10 minute jump rope) = 10%

90 - 100% = A
