Period 5 Principles of P.E. Blog 3 Track and Field/Wrestling

We are still light on the comments, so those of you who understand that there will be a new blog posted every week, please let your classmates know. Many of you had the right idea of why fitness testing is important. We want to know our current levels of fitness in various areas so that we know what we need to work on and so that we can set up our training to focus on those areas of need, while not neglecting those areas where we are already strong.

We will begin our wrestling unit this week. The wrestling we will be doing is more like gymnastics. We use this unit as a way to bond as a class, to learn how to fall and move our bodies in different directions, and to balance. We will also use this unit to learn how to control another persons movements. We will need all of these skills as we progress through the semester.
For your blog this week I want you to let me know what you know about wrestling. I am not talking about the crazy stuff you see on T.V. I am talking about traditional folk style wrestling. The kind that the Wootton wrestling team does.
