• West Senior is proud to offer a Physical Education program that allows students to learn the skills necessary to participate in life-long activities such as golf, tennis, fitness training, cardio training, etc.   Although our emphasis is on life-time activities, cooperative games and team sports are also offered.  

    We believe physical education involves activities and lessons that teach core character traits to help students become healthy, active, lifelong learners, who will continually strive for excellence. All lessons will be centered around the standards set forth by the New York State Education Department. Students will be taught key concepts about living a healthy, active lifestyle, and will also gain knowledge of community programs and facilities to continue participation in individual and group activities.

    Units to be taught include: flag football, volleyball, badminton, pickle ball, aquatics, basketball, and handball.

    Should you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
