My Project

Tossing and catching are skills that can be practiced at any age. In PE we do a lot of tossing and catching activities to improve hand/eye coordination. These skills are vital to participating in a variety of different games at all ages.

Students who are confident in their tossing and catching skills, are more likely to participate in a variety of physical activities that will ultimately increase their health.

Our school is almost 40 years old and over the years we have accumulated a lot of equipment, which is great, but a lot of it is old and needs retired. Having new and stimulating equipment and games is motivating to students and creates a more positive PE classroom experience.
