In this session, we will discuss topics surrounding the issue of motor skill and performance competency and physical fitness in physical education majors. Should PE majors be required to demonstrate motor skill competency and fitness? If so, in what specific areas? What should be a minimal level of competency and fitness? What are the best means of assessing these competencies? Presenters will share their ideas and invite participants to join in the conversation.
