Physical Education Syllabus

Coopersville Middle School

C.A.P.S. Training
I am very excited to be your physical education instructor! I have the
challenge to get you to believe the importance of working the most
important muscle in the body: the heart. Michigan is the in the top five
states for having the most obese people. You have the opportunity to
change that frightening stat. In order to achieve this goal I will need your
cooperation during class. This syllabus will hopefully answer any questions
you or your parents may have regarding the class.

One in every three U.S. children born after 2000 will become
diabetic unless many more people start eating healthier and
exercising more.

train either using speed and strength implements or an aerobic video. The
purpose of this program is to develop quick twitch muscles that all athletes
need to be successful. For the non-athlete this is a great program to develop
solid core and aerobic conditioning.

Absences: If a student is absent they will lose 10 points for the day. It is the
responsibility of the student to contact the teacher to make-up these missed
points. Once the assignment is completed, full points will be rewarded.
*Injuries/Doctors Notes: If you are injured for ONE/TWO classes a note from
home is
permitted. We are requiring students to dress even if they are injured.
Depending on the type of injury students will either workout to rehab injury
or work a different part of the body. In extreme injury situations, the student
is expected to dress but will assist the teacher in
equipment/scorekeeping/officiating/etc. If a student misses more than two
days of class a note from a doctor is required. Also, to return to class a note
from the doctor is required. This is a school policy. An alternative writing
assignment will be given to injured students.
(*CAPS Physical Education Department policy: If you are injured and
do not participate in PE class your coach will be notified.)

your
