JCVA students will participate in the Presidential Fitness Test, which promotes physical fitness, healthy habits, and active lifestyles. Students should begin preparing throughout the school year by practicing:

• Cardiovascular Endurance (run/walk, PACER)
• Core Strength & Endurance (curl-ups, sit-ups, planks)
• Upper-Body Strength & Endurance (push-ups, pull-ups)
• Flexibility (stretching, sit-and-reach)
• Agility & Movement (shuttle run and coordination activities)

Grades 5-8: Testing will be completed by the end of the school year, with details shared in the spring.

High School Students: Fitness requirements must be completed within the timeframe of their Physical Education/Fitness course.

We encourage Parent/Coaches to help students establish healthy fitness routines and prepare throughout the year. Additional testing information, dates, and procedures will be shared through JCVA email and announcements.
