Despite recent attention to the needs of Black youth, their perspectives are still noticeably absent from physical education in a way that fully encapsulates the full spectrum of their experiences. In our recently published book Critical Race Studies in Physical Education , we decided to shed light on issues that could undermine the ability of Black youth to have positive physical education experiences.

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.

I started high school in 1973 — just one year after Title IX went into effect. Growing up, I really had no idea that there were inequities when it came to girls and boys sports. However, looking back now it is very clear. Here are just a few of the differences that were firmly in place while I was growing up: Organized sports for boys (Little League, CYO, etc.) started at least two years earlier than for girls.

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.

When your child gets hit in the eye with a baseball bat, there’s no such thing as a bridge too far. You know you might hit traffic crossing the San Francisco Bay or spend extra time in the car with a hurt child, but going to a hospital where an on-site eye specialist can provide care at any hour of the night is the best option. That’s exactly what Henry and Donna Siu of Dublin did when their 8-year-old son, Liam, got a little too close to his big sister practicing her swing before her May 5 game

I was a first grader when Title IX became law in 1972. I am young enough to have benefited from it and old enough to be aware of having benefited from it. My dad was a soccer player in high school and helped found a rec league in our community in East Hampton, CT, which my brother and I both played in. When I started middle school, there was no girls soccer team, and it didn’t occur to me that I wouldn’t be allowed to try out for the boys team — so I did.
