Physical Education

The Physical Education program provides students with instruction in the fundamental skills, strategies, and rules of many sports including: soccer, football, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, softball, and track and field. Physical fitness as a goal, is incorporated through a program of aerobics and calisthenics. The value and practice of sportsmanship are of prime importance. The emphasis is on cooperative play, learning and improving skills, and the intrinsic enjoyment that comes from this experience.The Physical Education program utilizes both the 81st Street gym and the weight room for classes.
