Given the recent explosion in physical education culture coupled with research on secondary students’ voices about PE, why do team sports continue to dominate so many secondary PE programs? The legitimacy and implications of this question will be explored with respect to the future viability of PE in secondary schools. Using an interactive approach, presenters will explore research, theory, and practical insights into the factors that influence the content physical educators select to teach.
