Due to many subjects offered in the our High School Curriculum, there is time constraint and so, our PE classes has to be done in such a way that all the 5 sections in one level(about 150 students)will have their PE at the same within one period. The PE teacher will facilitate the lesson and there will be assigned teachers to help supervise as well as help in the discipline.
I would appreciate if you can suggest activities suited for such a big group if given a program related to soccer, volleyball and basketball.

Are you serious? Are you suggesting that one PE teacher in your building is required to teach 150 students a session? Are your "assistants" at least qualified to teach PE? And, what kind of facilities are you talking about?

Frankly, my first suggestion is to quit and find a job where the school system has an educational approach to PE, not a babysitting one. Sorry. . . that doesn't help you at all but this is too shocking.

Thanks for your reply (MS/MR)Isobel Kleinman..I'd like to share with you also that we allot two 50min.periods a week for PE in High School. The first period is spent on one teacher:one class ratio and the second period is what we call the PE Interclass which we normally have mini competitions. I understood the content of your response and i hope to hear more ideas from you. Thanks again.

Can't give you any ideas until I understand your set-up. Does the one teacher have to handle 150 students? Is that the class ratio? How many assistants? What kind of facilities do you have and do they accomodate 150 active kids at one time?
