The goal of the Physical Education program at PRIS is to increase physical fitness, develop a healthy body image, strengthen individual self-esteem, to improve sport related skills and knowledge of games and to empower all students to sustain regular physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.
Physical Education classes are designed to fulfill the growth, development, behavior and health related fitness needs of each child. I believe that the early years provide a critical opportunity for the growth and mastery of skills that form the basis for later sports and the life-long pleasure in physical activities.
Thank you for your support of the PRIS Physical Education program.

PLAYER POSITIONS- GENERAL GUIDELINES 1. If you are playing on the left side of the field, stay on that side. Same for the right. If the ball comes into your area, play the ball. Do not move and follow the ball around the field. 2. If you are playing defense, it is a good idea to not go forward past half field. 3. Try to form triangles with players on your team- that way you will have many passing options. 4. The lines are out in soccer. 5. "off sides" is when you are in the other teams half, ahead of the ball.
