FITNESSGRAM: is the national fitness test battery for youth. The assessment includes a variety of health-related physical fitness tests designed to assess cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

Personal fitness self-testing is considered to be the principal use for FITNESSGRAM test items. Students are encouraged to do their personal best and improve their “PR” on subsequent tests during each school year.

Pacer: The Pacer running test is administered in the gym. Students run from one end of the gym to the other (20m) at the pace of the CD. Students are allowed one lap to catch up if they fall behind the beep sound that designates the time allotted to for each lap. When a student does not make the lap in time, their test is over.

pacer runner’s grid.xls Rather than have the whole class run at the same time, students pair up and tally for their partner on this sheet. One partner lines up at the starting line, while the other partner sits at the side of the gym and puts a line through each number as laps are completed.

Soccer Frenzy – Ball Frenzy – Super Ball Frenzy

1. Soccer Frenzy: Kicking only – Including Goalies

2. Ball Frenzy: Throwing only – Goalies may use hands and body

3. Super Ball Frenzy: Throwing and Kicking allowed. Goalies may also use hands and/or kick

Setup and Equipment:

Twenty pins are lined up on the black lines in front of the opposing walls.
It works best to pick a couple of students to begin setting up the targets while the rules are covered and the teams set.
Break class into two teams. In our gym we have four teams (red, blue, yellow, green). So it’s pretty easy to put two teams on each side.
The dividing line in the middle of the gym cannot be crossed
Each team has twenty pins that are defended by goalies on their team.
Each team starts with an equal number of soft foam balls.(between 10-15 works well)
Players sit in front of their targets and wait for the music to start to begin the game.

Guidelines:

The object of the game is to knock down all of the targets on the opposite side of the gym.
The balls may be thrown or kicked, depending on which game you’re playing.
No balls may be knocked out of the air with a thrown ball
When a targets is knocked down, it works best if it is immediately put into the container that it came from.
Note: For K,1,2 they often choose to put the targets back up.
Players may switch on their team between protecting the targets and throwing at the other team’s targets.
If a goalie accidentally knocks over targets, they must stay down
Switch ends of the gym after all targets are knocked down.
