are some solo practice drills you can teach your high achievers; outdoor education types will enjoy the scientific facts about campfires you can recite around your evening blaze; there's a reproducible poster that involves dog walking and fitness; some methods for swimming in straight line in open water; and a tip that will help your players and students keep their cool when they're on the receiving end of a bad referee call.

The above articles are for PE Update members only. But this newsletter also contains lots of free stuff! There's a fun video about macho student teachers learning how to teach boys to dance; a link to our blog - a discussion of the tribulations of being a male coach in a female dominated travel bus; and a free article on a volleyball drill that combines elements of fitness, passing and the identification of gaps in the opposing defense.

This newsletter is free, but most of the content on PE Update.com is for members-only, including instructional videos, the discussion group, over 2100 articles that you can read, print and email... and much more.
