PE Metrics : Assessing National Standards 1-6 in Elementary School

Parents across the country send their children to sport practices and events with the expectation that adult supervision will foster positive sport experiences, encourage maximal learning and develop athletic skills. Yet, horror stories persist about dramatic increases in winning-obsessed parents, sport injuries, over-specialization of young athletes and children quitting sports because they simply aren’t having fun anymore.

The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) believes that an optimal sport experience requires caring and professionally trained coaches, eager athletes and supportive parents.

101 Tips for Youth Sport Coaches, sponsored by Polar USA, introduces youth sport coaches to the fundamentals of good coaching and to encourage their professional development so that every young athlete will have an optimal sport experience.
