Preparing for Competitive Athletics
5th grade physical education is an extension of lower school PE, but it is also a specialized year in which the primary focus is to prepare students for competitive Middle School athletics. Classes are led by Middle School coaches and PE teachers and are treated like Middle School practices. Students are exposed to full units on each of the sports our older students compete in. Each unit culminates in a Friday afternoon intramural scrimmage where students can showcase their skills and abilities to work as a team.
