necessary to perform a variety of physical activities.
Key Components
As a result of participating in a quality physical education program,
students will:
1.1 demonstrate developmentally appropriate locomotor, nonlocomotor,
rhythmic, and manipulative skills;
1.2 demonstrate movement concepts, which include levels, directions,
ranges, pathways, flow,force, and time;
1.3 transfer and apply previously learned motor skills to various
sport/movement forms;
1.4 apply rules, strategies, and concepts to a variety of physical
activities;
1.5 demonstrate skill/performance related fitness;
1.6 demonstrate knowledge of biomechanical principles; and
1.7 utilize technology to meet physical standards
Rationale
Basic movement skills are the foundation of an active and productive
life. The process of developing skillful movers involves daily practice
and applications of movement skills. The development of many
movement forms gives students the capacity for successful and
advanced levels of performance, which further increases the likelihood
