The Physical Education curriculum is an elective program.  It is designed so that each student may choose the course that best fits his or her personal “activity” preference.  The course offerings include weightlifting, aerobics, and sports such as tennis, volleyball, basketball, flag football, and table tennis.

Students participating in activity courses will be expected to provide T-shirt, shorts and/or sweats, and tennis shoes.  Students are encouraged to select the course in which they are most interested.  Daily participation and appropriate dress for PE are major components in the determination of daily and semester grades.  Students will be graded and credit will be extended within the state graduation requirements.  Only four (4) units of physical education/athletics may be counted toward graduation.  Each course is one semester (1/2 unit)  and may be repeated for credit.

Students interested in athletics in ninth-grade and tenth-grade may enroll in both physical education AND athletics only if athletics is taken as an additional class during the 7th hour.

(FOOTBALL THROUGH CHEERLEADING):  This program is designed for competition among schools in various sports.   In competitive Athletics the focus is upon the ability of the TEAM to compete successfully.  Coaches determine playing time based on a player’s skill and ability to improve the TEAM’s ability to compete successfully.  Playing time is not guaranteed. However, coaches will try to give all players an opportunity to demonstrate their ability during the course of the season.  The number of participants on a team is limited in all sports except for Football, Cross-Country, Swimming, Wrestling and Track.  Selection of team members will be determined through a tryout process based on criteria established by the coach. Team members may be required to participate in off-season or season conditioning programs.    If a student is selected and approved to participate, he or she may obtain the rules, regulations, and practice times from the coach of that sport. 

 

(ATHLETIC TRAINING):  Athletic training involves the prevention, immediate care, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.  Students will gain experiences working with all varsity sports offered through Bartlesville Public Schools.  Athletic training offers a variety of future opportunities in many medically-oriented fields.  Because athletic training lies within the school day, units may be counted toward graduation through the physical education department.  This course provides an opportunity to earn a varsity letter.  Grades are based on participation, test scores covering a medical curriculum, and willingness to work.  Students are expected to be at all practices, games, and related events assigned by the head trainer.  (Must have head trainer's written approval).

 

(ATHLETIC MANAGER):  This class provides the student with the opportunity to participate in competitive athletics through aiding the coach and student athletes during practice sessions and actual competitive sporting events.  A student who is academically eligible to participate must has the coach’s signature on his or her enrollment form to enroll in the class.  This course provides an opportunity to earn a varsity letter.
