Advanced Physical Education Syllabus



Athleticism is a general term we use to describe a combination of four basic condition goals: Strength, Power, Speed, and Agility.

Overview:

Advanced Physical Education is a class that is designed to provide the basis for a lifetime of physical fitness. Also, providing a solid foundation for athletic achievement and development. The class will be composed of strength training, speed and agility drills, and conditioning exercises.



Grading:

The students will begin each grading period with a one hundred grade average. Students will be deducted the following points: ND (not dressed) which is equal to 5 pts; NP (not participating) which is equal to 3 pts. A student is not allowed to participate if not properly dressed out for Advanced Physical Education for health and safety concerns (ex. Athletic shoes). Participation is being active in the day?s warm-up and workout. A medical note must be provided to excuse a student from participation.



Physicals:

A physical that is signed by a Doctor must be turned in to the office or the Athletic Director before you will be able to participate in class. This is for VHSL and insurance purposes.



Clothes:

Proper athletic shoes must be worn at all times during class. Improper shoes will count the same as not dressed for the day. Athletic shorts or sweats and a t-shirt must also be worn during class. No hats will be worn.



Food and Drinks:

Food and drinks will not be permitted during class. There are water fountains for proper hydration located in the weight room and the gym.



Absences:

Please note the school policy on absences. You have one day to make up work missed for each day you have an excused absence. If you do not make it up in this time you will receive a zero for that assignment. Remember that it is you responsibility to see that this has been done and to get the assignment. Be sure to ask me or another student what was missed and make that work up in the required time period. If you cannot meet the time requirements, please see me before the time expires and I will work with you. All doctor?s notes for absences must be turned in to the office and to me by the end of the six weeks. If not turned in by the end of the six weeks the notes will not count toward exam exemption.



Tardies:

A tardy will result if the student is not in the gym at 7:40. School policy states that you will receive penalty hall on the third tardy and each tardy after through the six weeks. Three tardies result in one absence toward the exam exemption.
