At some point, most physical education teachers have had to give up the gym for a concert, rehearsal, assembly, construction, or other school/community activity. I once taught physical education classes outside — in Minnesota — for a full school year (and a month into the next year) when our gymnasium was being renovated.

Coaches are prominent in youth sport retention. This is important for 'present' retention as players who are engaged in a positive sporting culture and climate show increased level of enjoyment, motivation and wellbeing. The most influential factor in dropping out of sport is a lack of enjoyment. The quality of coaching matters.

Field Day is more than an end-of-year event for elementary physical education teachers. Many of our students dont have access to summer camps or organized sports, so Field Day might be one of the few times they get to experience team play, friendly competition, and a large-scale outdoor celebration.

Adding more movement — through physical education, recess and active classrooms — is essential for beating the almost-winter blues. Educators worry about time spent on learning, the Common Core, and curriculum standards (all for good reason). Therefore, I encourage educators to incorporate more HPE into every classroom, every day.
