7th grade P.E.

Earlier this week, we had a great time in P.E.  As always, the 7th graders started with a dynamic warm-up:

- 5 Laps
- Frankensteins (dynamic hamstring stretch) - 1 length of  the gym
- Walking Lunges - 1 length of the gym
- Walking quad stretch - 1 length of the gym
- 3 Sprints (down and back = 1)
- 15 Push-ups
- 25 Crunches

Sufficiently warmed up, my students competed in a relay that turned out to be harder than they initially thought:

Next, the 7th graders participated in a fun game called "Nitro Ball."  The game is played over a volleyball net and the rules are similar to volleyball, but inverted.  The ball is slightly larger, and instead of not allowing the ball to hit the court, players must allow the ball to bounce once before sending it back over the net.  This game proved to be a great lead-up game to prepare the students for the future volleyball unit.
