National Physical Education & Sport Week

National PE & Sport Week (also known as May Week) is a celebration of the importance of physical education and health education, in addition to kicking off National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.

This year — to celebrate 50 years of Title IX — we’ve included some Title IX-themed activities for you to use in your HPE classes.

And as always during National PE & Sport Week, we’d like to give a big shout out to our nation’s health and physical education teachers for their work teaching life-changing skills to young people.

Thank you!
