Physical Education Department

Hubert R. Hudson takes pride in its Physical Education Department. The department is dedicated to the development of the overall child. Many sports and games are covered throughout the year as to assure that each child grows up having good social, affective, and cognitive skills along with physical fitness.

The Physical Education Department at Hubert R. Hudson Elementary, through the implementation of innovative games, allows each child to develop self-confidence, self-esteem and excellent social skills. Self-discipline and respect for others is also taught. Modified games from any given sport help reinforce academic learning, strengthen group cooperation skills, and encourage the mastery of physical education skills on an everyday basis. From a very young age, children are introduced to a broad selection of activities in order to cultivate basic locomotion and social skills. The introduction to these games and rhythmic activities will hopefully create a lifelong enjoyment of physical fitness and physical activities. Along with the everyday department curriculum, the children are also given the opportunity in various extracurricular activities and sports such as volleyball, basketball, jump rope, track and field, and hoop shoot.
