Benefits of Activity

Physical Education, or PE, is a class that focuses on being physically active among students whether you’re doing sports or playing games. Games like dodgeball, capture the flag, and other games with similar gameplay are all great ways to keep students engaged and active! Physical activity is important for people of all ages, but it is most important for children in school. Teaching children to be active helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle routine for adulthood. Routines are built to keep them engaging in physical activity, eating healthy, and motivated to be better. 

Channel That Energy Into Competitivity 

When students are compelled to participate in physical activities, it benefits them and the school itself. Think of it as a reward! When students become more active and athletic, it will make them want to channel that energy into sports, allowing them to become more active with their school and carry on the healthy lifestyle they need. An increase in athletes for a school not only means more victories but also an increase in building teamwork skills and essential life skills like responsibility, respect, and confidence, and fundamentally setting them up for success. 

Set Up for Life

When schools produce a mass amount of talented athletes, colleges will look upon these talents and may even offer them scholarships. College scouts visit schools to seek athletes and in time come to award them predominantly on that individual’s ability to play or contribute to the sport. These scholarships offer the possibility of a student going to play for a college that may have overlooked that opportunity before. 

In the Long Run (Get it?)

Having a mandatory PE class is favorable not only for the students, but also for the school. Again, it helps the school increase its athletic program and athletic production. For students, it helps them get involved with the school and people, helps them create healthy habits like: working out, teaches them responsibility and teamwork, and motivates them to sustain good grades. Physical education is a great way to keep students in shape, and it is a way the school can contribute to what’s best for the students.
