Whoosh! A flying disc soars through the air and makes its way to the target — right between the hands of the fourth-grade student, who then smiles at their perfectly executed clap catch. “Great catch!” exclaims the student who threw the disc, looking pleased as well. Their backhand is coming along. Across the field another disc flies through the air, this time to a moving target.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Coming back after a soccer injury can be physically and psychologically challenging for young players. As coaches, we must support them while they’re unable to play, be careful not to rush them back, and provide encouragement when it’s time for them to return. In this Q&A, we discuss some effective methods of injury prevention, ways to keep players involved while they’re going through recovery, and how to safely reintegrate them after a soccer injury.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

While raising three kids who played sports all year round, my husband and I sacrificed a lot for them. And there were days when I almost forgot who I was, besides. Read More.

Schools across the country are putting considerable energy and resources into teaching SEL (Social Emotional Learning). SEL is the driving force for every SHAPE America conference that I have attended recently. The belief is that SEL is not taught anywhere else in school, so it needs to be a priority in health/PE. There was an undertone that SEL would also ensure job security, but that is a whole other conversation.

Winter is a great month that offers opportunities for being active that I simply cannot enjoy at other times of the year (well, at least not without having to travel significantly). I’ll miss taking my kids tobogganing, going snowshoeing with my family, or hitting up the local ski slopes.
