My Project

The equipment selected for this project for my students was simple try to get set of each major sport that is offer. I wanted them to have the fundamental skills of the top sports played in our middle school, district high school and local community center. This way if they wanted to try out a sport because the enjoyed it in physical education class they would have every opportunity to do so.

Last year we lost most of the equipment we had due to a flood that cause mold in out gym room, this why I want my students to get set of the top sports played in are area.

I was able to find sets for different sports so I have more students involved at one time and playing so they can learn the proper way to play basketball, flag football, soccer, volleyball, kickball we have a school tournament every year.

My students last year didn't have the opportunity last year they way I would of like for them to learn the fundamentals of each sport and everything that comes with learning sports. Because we had to have physical education outside most of the year and the lost of equipment. I just want them to have the best experience they can in physical education class.
