Ball Control- ball control sports include: basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, and lacrosse and a sport specific training program for each activity. Conditioning- an advance level of participation in cardiovascular, strength training, muscular endurance and flexibility.

Incentive Program Ask your teacher, all classes have different incentives programs. When you work above and beyond both physically and mentally you will receive extra credit. Extra credit is like a bank for your money. You can use your money (extra credit) and make tests and activities GO AWAY. Extra Credit can make your: –Absences go away (no make ups)! –More choice time! –Buy a new car! Incentives may not be used for No Dresses or poor behavior! Supplying parents , Working hard, pushing yourself, working with classmates, exhibiting superior sportsmanship are a few ways to obtain extra credit.

Grading Traditional Grading - based on daily testing. Absences must be made up before, during, or after school. (Pre-set time with your teacher) A No-Dress cannot be made up. If you are sick and in school, you must still participate. –Accommodations may be made on a case by case basis. No tennis shoes = No participate = No make up Medical notes from a doctor only are acceptable and those days may be made up. –A note from home (parent note) will not be made up. Beginning testing should show improvement at end testing. We also test on effort.

Online testing Regular testing Testing must be verified by you using grade speed within 3 days of the exam. If a mistake is made it can be changed within the 3 day period. After the 3 day period all grades are final. If you are having a problem with online testing see me the next morning with the problem. If you wait the grade stands. Never wait until the last minute to complete online tests. Complete online tests immediately so you will have time to correct any computer malfunctions. Online test started on the last day after 6pm cannot be changed due to computer malfunctions. Gaggle drop boxes assignments are due by 0600 hours the day of the class.
