Practice & Repetitions 
December 1st Through 5th.  The strength & conditioning block will continue by giving each student the opportunity to practice the four major movements.  The primary focus of the first block was to allow each student to learn how to move properly while performing the air squat, the deadlift, the strict press and the hand release push-up.  As the S & C, block one concludes each student will get more repetitions at each of the four movements.  Students that demonstrate the ability to move correctly will be given the opportunity to challenge themselves with additional resistance.   We will also continue to incorporate exercises that focus on the development of our cardiovascular fitness level.  We will work on our ability to jump rope throughout the week.  The skill of jump rope can be scaled to the ability level of each student.  It is important to have the right size jump rope.  When selecting a jump rope, the athlete should step on the middle of the jump rope.  The end of the handles should come up to the athlete's chest level.  This will ensure that the jump rope is long enough for the athlete to use.   The Strength & Conditioning Assessment for block one will be on December 8th or 9th, depending on when each student has physical education class.  The assessment will require each student to provide twenty responses.  The review prezi is located on my website under the physical education tab.  It is entitled, Strength & Conditioning.  It can be viewed as many times as needed.

Deadlift and Strict Press 
November 24th - 26th.  Strength & Conditioning will be the first activity of the second marking period for physical education. This week, the Strength & Conditioning sessions will  introduce the deadlift and the strict press.  It is important for everyone to learn how to perform these movements correctly.   The points to remember when performing the deadlift are as follows; 1.  The athlete should hide the knots in their shoelaces with the bar in the set-up, 2.  The athlete should stay weighted in their heels when performing the lift, 3.  The athlete should keep the bar against their legs and push their hips back when returning the weight to the ground. The points to remember when performing the strict press are as follows; 1.  The athlete should be weighted in their heels with their feet directly underneath their shoulders in the set-up, 2.  The athlete should have their hands outside their shoulders, elbows down and slightly in front of the bar, 3.  The athlete should press the bar overhead and cover their ears with their shoulders, 4.  The athlete should press the bar straight up, their head should move slightly back to accomodate the bar. The squat and push-ups will also continue to incorporated into the activities to allow each athlete to work on improving their ability to move, their overall strength and endurance.  The goal is to be better than yesterday.
