Striking and Fielding Games- Teach or not?

When you hear someone talking about striking and fielding games, what sports do you think of?  Probably baseball or softball I would say you'd think of.  I heard that striking and fielding games might be taken out of the curriculum for Physical Education.  I would agree with them doing this because those sports have a lot of standing around and they encourage us not to teach sports/activities where the students stand around a lot.  And also with these sports you are not involved unless you are batting, or the ball is hit to you.  I still like these sports but too much standing around.  Let me know what you think.

Physical Education

When I was in middle school and high school I always thought that Phys. Ed. class was a time to play sports and just have fun.  It wasn't until  I came to SRU that I realized it was a lot more than that.  I learned about the fitness components that can be done, the technology that can be used, and so much more that can be taught.  I found out that I could teach a whole class period about lifting and fitness components of Phys. Ed. instead of the traditional method of teaching sports.  Since I came to SRU my view of Physical Education has changed and hopefully we can change the views of the rest of those who used to think like I did.
