Physical Education & Sport Form 1

Welcome students to your new school, a new mode of learning, and a broader perspective of Physical Education & Sport!

Physical Education & Sport at this level comprises two components:

1. Theory - (this is where you learn about the History & Development of PE & Sport, Anatomy & Physiology, Fitness & Performance, Health & Nutrition, and Trends & Social Issues in sport.
2. Practical - (in this component you will be introduced to new sports, and events, and you will learn the skills required for various sports. Students will also get the opportunity to represent the school at the Inter schools level)

Moreover, we expect students to embrace this new perspective, and approach sports more professionally.

This term we will engage in the following topics and practicals if time permits:
Theory
o The Nature and Meaning of Physical Education & Sport
o The History of Physical Education & Sport
o The Training Session

Practical
o The sprint test
o The fundamentals of running (The Crouch start, Standing start, running techniques)
o Ball throw
o Introduction to field events (long jump, short put, discus)

We look forward to successful term using this blended approach!
