Gym credits being required in schools is understandable and necessary. However the need for student athletes who participate in a time consuming and engaging sport outside of school is less pressing. Students struggle to balance a busy schedule that includes school, sports, jobs; and gym being required on top of that is repetitive and meaningless in terms of getting physical activity in. Sign this petition to help student athletes be exempt from gym credits, and have their sport signed off by a coach count as that credit.

Student athletes who compete on sports teams for their school or in outside clubs should be exempt from taking gym to fulfill a PE requirement. Allow students to make better use of their time by applying the alloted gym time to academic studies. It is my opinion and observation that student athletes greatly exceed the PE hours required at school to fulfill this requirement. And in a much more direct, sport specified manner through rigorous training and conditioning. Provide student athletes the option to use their time in a more productive manner suited to their needs.
Truth!
TRRRYUUUUUEEEE

Student athletes deserve some of their time back to have a more balanced and productive day in exchange for all the time they spend representing their school in school sponsored athletics! This is the right thing to do and is EASY to fix.
