Basketball & Ultimate Frisbee

February 9th Through 12th. Depending on the period, students will be participating in either basketball or ultimate frisbee. My first and three/four period classes will be participating in basketball on one-half of the gymnasium. My 7/8 and 8/9 classes will be participating in Ultimate Frisbee in the all-purpose room. All classes will begin as normal with students actively participating in a dynamic warm-up. As the school year progresses, students should improve upon their ability to perform the exercises that are incorporated in the dynamic warm-up. Following the dynamic warm-up, students will have the opportunity to actively participate in a competitive activity that incorporates a variety of different exercises. For example, on February 10th/11th students will; perform as many repetitions of a exercise as possible in thirty seconds followed by thirty seconds of recovery. Students will rotate through three different exercises. The exercises are kettle bell goblet squats (Rx; 10 Lbs.), hand release push-ups and sit-ups. Students will keep track of the number of repetitions that they completed throughout the round. Following the completion of round one, students will rest for two minutes and write their first name and total on the white board. Students will perform a second round of the three exercises attempting to beat their repetition total from round one. Upon completion of round two, students will write their total repetitions from round two on the white board in addition to their repetition total. A leader board will be posted in class in an attempt to add the competitive element to class. Next, students will participate in their respected activity, Basketball or ultimate frisbee. Students participating in basketball will have the opportunity to participate in half-court basketball games. Students participating in ultimate frisbee will have the opportunity to participate in ultimate frisbee games. All students, regardless of activity have been divided into teams with the objective to maximize their participation level.

Floor Hockey Games

January 5th Through 9th. Students will actively participate in floor hockey games for the remainder of the current activity block. Each period was divided into two teams. Each team will rotate shifts of two/three athletes onto the gym floor every two minutes. The teams will compete against each other without goalies. The objective of the activity is to knock a rubber puck off of a red stand that is located behind the all-purpose nets. Each shift has two minutes to score as many goals as possible during their shift. A face off will take place after each goal. Each activity period will count as one game and the score will be recorded at the end of the period. Students are encouraged to put forth their best effort and participate in a safe manner. Each activity period will begin with a dynamic warm-up that can last up to ten minutes that will work on improving the students' ability to perform hand release push-ups, medicine ball air squats, medicine ball deadlifts and the strict press more efficiently. The second marking period, block two assessment will be administered next week. Stay tuned for details.

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.
