We are in the midst of rewriting some of our curriculum throughout out school. Does anyone have a written proposal for a football class that they are willing to share? We currently have a football class each semester, but we are looking to revamp the way it is written to better ensure that our guidance counselors get everyone in the class. Plus, we are always looking to ways to improve what we have.

I don't understand what you mean by saying you want to revamp the way it is written to better ensure that the guidance counselors get everyone in the class? Can you clarify that?
Regardless, I have read many different posts here about football classes. They are generally focused on improving the performance of the athlete but I never see much about appreciation and the history of the sport. While probably not providing the same on field returns as lessons on your particular teams tactics/offense/defense etc. (ie regular chalk talk) I always thought it would be fun to see projects such as "present a report on your favorite player" Or even more historically based, present a report on a player who shares the number you wear etc.
Also covering rules changes throughout history - one could easily demonstrate higher order thinking skills through discussions and lessons about rule changes.
Another potential topic to be covered : matriculating from HS to college to NFL. Good math integration there.

Having "sport specific" classes is against the rules in our state.
Not to say it isn't happening.

Another potential topic to be covered : matriculating from HS to college to NFL. Good math integration there. I guess that was rather vague. We currently have the class titled as athletic weightlifting. Our guidance counselors just see "weightlifting" and think the kids can go into any weightlifting class instead of the 4th block one designed for football. They also think that any athlete can go into athletic weights. At my previous school it was called "varsity sports." In order to get the name changed to varsity sports (or anything else) I need a written curriculum to propose to the district office. |
