NAPFA

PE TESTS ARE HERE TO STAY

CAN YOU OUTSHINE ALL OF THE REST AND CLIMB ON TOP OF THE LADDER OF FITNESS AND REACH FOR THAT GOLD AWARD?

 Recently, I had my NAPFA PE test. It's really discriminating how they categorize all the kids into Gold group, Silver group, Bronze group, or simply no award. Like seriously, you see a horizontally inclined kid in class leap into the air, land with a big thud like an elephant onto the standing broad jump mat, shake your head and immediately tell him:" Dude, sorry, this year you ain't getting any awards." (I'm personally very horizontally inclined)

"OH HOHO, CHER, ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER."



 STANDING BROADJUMP

Ah yes, I just don't understand. Why is there such a big difference between the standards of guys and girls. We only need 165cm to ace this but boys need 215cm to do the same. And so, there's this dude in class who geared himself up by swinging his arms vigourously and violently like a helicopter and took off into the air, hands slightly behind him, head tilted upwards, and left foot pointing up like a ballerina. And with the most graceful pointe landing I've ever seen, he's accomplished a whooping 180cm. (Yes, but he still hasn't aced it). Girls in class get into the spread eagle position as if they are sky diving, bend their legs as low as possible and take off like a missile and land off with a mere150cm. I really applaud this dude's ballet skills. So hilarious, yet so amazing.
