With the variety of equipment I have requested, I will be able to offer my students access to more activities within my PE program. Much of our equipment is outdated, worn, or simply not available to purchase due to budget restrictions. The "poly spots" can be placed on the gym floor/ground and used in a variety of ways including warm-ups, basketball drills, targets etc. The softer beginner volleyballs allow for a "gentler" introduction of volleying skills for the younger students. Foam bats, balls and tees would be a new addition to a softball unit for students! This would allow older students the practice of striking with long implements. Finally, students would all be able to use their own pickleball racket during our unit (striking with short implements) with access to this new equipment instead of having to share! By having access to a variety of quality equipment, students will be better able to achieve grade-level standards in Physical Education. For example, students will use the equipment to practice and then demonstrate competency in a variety of motor skills and movements as well as apply their knowledge of these concepts to strategies and tactics related to those movements and skills. As a result, students will recognize the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and social interaction.
