Progression in PE
Overview
This is an overview of the progression in PE. This can use in elementary, middle, high, or even college classes. It shows why it is important to progress with each level.
PROGRESSING P.E.
STARTING WITH THE BASICS
RUNNING, HOPPING, SKIPPING
The most important aspect of Physical Education is starting with the basics. By teaching the students how to properly jog, run, skip, hop, and shuffle, you are teaching them everything they need to know about how to move so that they can perform those aspects in activities and games. Almost every single activity or game in physical education consists of running, jogging, or walking. The students need to be able to master the concepts of those activities so that they can focus on the specific skills to learn later on.

Performing skills
Once the students have the basics of running, jogging, and hopping down, they can start to work on working on their skill work. Skills in Physical Education consists of underhand throw, overhand throw, kicking, striking, volleying, and much more. To make mini activities and games out of these skills, the students must be able to walk, jog, and/or run proficiently.
FINAL STAGE
Team Sports

The final stage ends up being in middle and high school. This is where the students will focus more on sports-based activities. So again, to be able to compete in the sports, they must be proficient in the skills that they learn in elementary school. This is why progressing is so important throughout physical education. They each build off of each other and allow the students to take each step slowly so they can practice it.
