OBJECTIVE- To teach the structure and function of the muscular system as it relates to increasing muscular strength while also focusing on lifetime fitness principles associated with enhancing overall health and understanding and building competence on proper lifting and training procedures.
PREFACE- The training implemented in this course is designed to increase overall strength as well as sport specific strength. We will work to increase core strength as well as basic compound lifts with the use of free weights and resistance.
DRESSING OUT- You will be required to dress out in proper P.E. clothing on a daily basis.
LOCKS AND LOCKERS- You will receive a combination lock and a locker the first week of school.
LOCKER SYSTEM- You will be assigned a locker. When your block is over you will need to remove all of your belongings from the locker.
VALUABLES- It’s simple, DON’T BRING THEM! If you don’t bring valuables to the locker room then you don’t have to worry about them being stolen. Please note that the coaches are not responsible for valuables.
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS AND TESTS- At the end of the first semester you will have a written final exam on the structure and function of the muscular system. At the end of the second semester your written final exam will be based on the nutritional content of the course.
MAXES- We will take recorded maxes every 9 weeks. This will fall at the end of the quarters and semesters. You will be graded based off strength improvement and proper technique using a weight lifting grading rubric.
FINAL EXAM- Your final exams will account for approximately 25% of your overall grade. It will consist of previously explained test, projects, and maxes.
Attendance & Tardy Policy Attendance: Zero points will be given for BOTH Excused and Unexcused ABSENCES.
