Join the Coalition for Quality Physical Education



We are inviting individuals, private industry, and non-profit groups to join us in our mission:
  • To advocate the importance of quality, standards-based physical education to parents, school boards, administrators, and policy makers.
  • To promote the National Standards and Grade-Span Learning Indicators​ in order to help all children achieve physical literacy so they can be active for life.
  • To support teachers and future professionals who are committed to this mission by providing or facilitating no cost access to quality resources, curriculum, professional development, conference fees, equipment, and more.
We will all benefit from a more fit and healthy population. Aside from the overall improvement in health and wellness, health-care costs go down, workers become more productive, and students learn better. Physical activity is a tool that all children should learn how to use to boost the quality of their lives.

​Companies who profit from physically active people might consider the long-term investment of supporting the existing infrastructure that is school-based physical education. When it is done right, it “produces” young adults who are physically literate, and have a desire and a plan to be active for the rest of their lives. More active people = more sales of physical activity related goods and services.

​See this article for more information "
Global Inactivity Levels Surge: Implications and Opportunities for the Sporting Goods Industry."

Pledge Your Committment

Take the pledge and make a commitment to support quality physical education:
  • Spread the word about the Importance of Physical Education and Physical Activity throughout the day.
  • ​Be ready to explain what Quality Physical Education is and how it is different from Physical Activity. 
  • Educate people who do not know that Physical Education is a research-based academic subject with National Standards and Grade-Span Learning Indicators.
