    Overview
    The weightlifting program at Superior Central Schools is an advanced course designed to teach
    proper exercise form, safety procedures, and to improve student’s overall athleticism.
    Specifically, this class will focus on improvements in muscular strength, muscular endurance,
    and overall health. Students in grades 10-12 are eligible to participate after completing 9th grade
    physical education/health. While the course is centered on the Bigger Faster Stronger program,
    other aspects of athletic training will be incorporated into the curriculum.

    Class format
    A majority of the time spent in class throughout the week will be in the weight room, actively
    participating. Students will also be completing additional workouts in the gym, and some
    classwork in a regular classroom. Many assignments will be posted online in a Google
    Classroom. While students will have the opportunity to complete many assignments
    electronically, almost all material can be adapted to a traditional pencil/paper format upon
    request.

    Grading
    Daily points: Each day students have the opportunity to earn 5 points. These points are based
    upon participation, effort, dressing properly, and behavior. You will be deducted points for any
    of the following reasons:
    -lack of participation/effort
    -improper clothing
    -safety failures [Loss of ALL POINTS for the day]

    Record book checks: Students will be required to keep accurate record of their weekly workouts.
    Periodically throughout the semester students will receive points for filling these out completely
    and accurately.

    Classroom assignments: A portion of this class will take place in the classroom learning about
    human anatomy, muscular structure, proper nutrition, workout recovery, and other related topics.

    Exams
    The semester and final exams will be two parts. One portion of the exam will be a classroom test
    taken during the exam period. Additionally, students will receive a grade (worth 100 points)
    based upon their improvement. Students will be tested in three exercises: bench press, squat, and
    deadlift. Their improvements in these three exercises will be averaged and graded on the
    following scale:

    Semester- A B C D E Final- A B C D E
    10% 9% 8% 7% 6% 20% 18% 16% 14% 12%

    Grading policy
    This course will follow the grading scale and homework policy in the student handbook.
    How to earn make up points for excused absences
    There are two ways in which students can make up daily points from absences:
    1. A written summary of an article related to strength training will earn 4 points. The
    summary should be at least 1 paragraph (8 sentences) in length and either include a copy
    of the article
    2. Laps may be jogged around the basketball court in the main gym. Two laps will be worth
    one point. Laps may be made up before or after class.

    Make up points must be completed by Friday of the week following that in which they were
    missed to get credit. Students may make up points in advance of an excused absence. It is the
    responsibility of the student to earn required points.

    No-Dress Policy
    To begin each semester, each student will be allotted one “no-dress” day, allowing them 1 day to
    be present in class but not participate. For each no-dress day taken thereafter, their SEMESTER
    GRADE will drop by 1 letter grade.

    Dear parents/guardians,
    I am very excited to be your child’s teacher this year. I will do my best to ensure your
    son/daughter receives the most quality education available. It is my hope that this year will be
    filled with much learning and fun! I will get to know your child as the school year progresses,
    but if there is anything that you feel I should know about your child in order to best meet their
    specific learning needs, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

    “The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being
    better than you were the day before.”

    -Steve Young
