Athletics & Fitness

Public Schools Athletic League
The mission of the Public Schools Athletic League is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through an athletic program that fosters teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness
The goal of the C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness program is to improve student fitness levels and overall health by increasing opportunities for children to engage in physical activity, regardless of athletic ability. The program promotes health-related fitness through a mix of several after-school and before-school activities including traditional sports, non-traditional sports, and fitness activities. The ultimate goal is for students to grow to be C.H.A.M.P.S. — Cooperative, Healthy, Active, Motivated, Positive Students — for life.
PS 45 Physical Education Program

    The curriculum that PS 45 uses is from Physical Best, a health-related fitness based program created by NASPE.  This curriculum will be supplemented by seasonal sport skills and creative movement activities.

    This year, all students will again be assessed using the NYC Fitnessgram.  There are up to 7 components, based on the student's age.  They include height, weight, push-up, curl-up, trunk-lift, sit-and-reach, and PACER.  More information about this program and a video presentation can to found at the region 7 website.

    We are looking forward to a safe, fun and active year with your child.  If you have any questions, you may send a note to us.
