Climbing the Agility Ladder For Higher Skills and Footwork

My students need need poly spots, stopwatches, agility ladders, and agility kits to help them strengthen and refine the skill-related fitness skills of running agility and speed.

Indianapolis, IN Grades 3-5

I teach Wellness, Physical Education, and Fitness in the best brand-new high ability school in the Midwest.

We're a new school that used to be a Middle School. We don't have much in the way of equipment. I think agility and speed training is one of the most important things a PE/Wellness teacher can teach. It's fun, kinetic, a serious challenge, and will appeal to their intelligences, both mental/emotional and muscle memory.

I need poly spots to organize my class and get my 2nd-3rd graders hopping and jumping. The stopwatches will help the students learn how to time their classmates in different events. The agility ladders and agility kits will deepen my own teaching of the importance of quick feet and footwork if these children ever want to seriously pursue sports and learn the importance of quickness.

Purchasing this equipment will enable me to dig deeply into the all-important skills of agility training. Agility training is all the rage right now, and classes are being offered to re-teach the importance of skipping. Skipping! Parents shovel out thousands of dollars for their kids to do what regular PE/wellness teachers like myself are doing on a daily basis, and I'm cheap compared to them. Allow me to do in my Gym what others are charging arms and legs to do elsewhere. Allow me to teach agility, balance, coordination, explosive power, reaction time, and running speed. This equipment will enable me to teach these important concepts.
