Physical Education Supplementation for Schools
The National Academy of Athletics partners with schools to provide high-quality Physical Education (PE) supplementation that supports student wellness, physical literacy, and social-emotional development—without increasing demands on school staff.
Our PE programs are designed to complement existing curriculum, fill staffing gaps, and ensure students receive consistent, engaging, and developmentally appropriate physical education.
Supporting Schools Where PE Resources Are Stretched
Schools today face real challenges:
- Limited PE staffing
- Scheduling constraints
- Increased academic demands
- Growing focus on student mental and physical health
NAofA’s Physical Education Supplementation program was created to support your school’s educational mission, ensuring students remain active, confident, and engaged.
What Is Physical Education Supplementation?
Physical Education Supplementation allows schools to:
- Fill temporary or long-term staffing gaps
- Add structured movement to enrichment blocks
- Ensure students meet physical activity goals
Our programs integrate seamlessly into your school day while maintaining high instructional standards.
Research-Backed Curriculum & Specialized Coach Training
All PE supplementation programs are led by NAofA Certified Coaches who complete additional, advanced education specific to physical education instruction.
Our PE Specialist Certification was developed in partnership with Dr. Michael Herbert, who holds a PhD in Physical Education.
This ensures instruction aligns with:
- Child development principles
- Best practices in physical literacy
- Age-appropriate skill progression
- Safe, inclusive movement environments
