One PE Credit is required of all students to graduate high school. Here are a list of courses that can give this credit and this site's recommendations. This site recommends taking the PE credit at UT High School or taking Team Sports. Here is a more detailed explanation of each course:
Team Sports
Team Sports is the most basic PE class for students to enter. In team sports, depending on the teacher, you can either walk around the track for an hour and have a study hall for the remaining time, or learn about different sports. It is an easy class in which students can get their work done.
Functional Fitness
Functional Fitness, despite being marketed as something else, is the exact same class as Team Sports, with students doing the same activities and even sharing a class with Team Sports students. This site would recommend Team Sports over Functional Fitness purely because, if this were to change, students would have more free time to work on stuff for other classes in Team Sports
Off Campus PE
Off Campus PE is a great class if you are already doing a physical activity frequently outside of school and allows you to put more time into electives of your choice. However, if you wish to start a new activity just for this class so you have more time for electives, this site would instead recommend skipping PE at UT High School. More can be found about skipping classes here.
Cross Country
Cross Country is technically a UIL Sport, although you can recieve a PE Credit if you make the team. To make the team you must be able to run 3.1 miles in less than 25 minutes. To have a good grade, students must attend all practices and meets. Track can be taken outside of school hours or first block of the day, but it still requires going to school early and occasionally staying late. This site does not recommend cross country unless you have prior experience and are willing to undertake the time commitment.
Water Polo
Water Polo is a relativly new sport at Cedar Ridge and it has less people than other high school teams. Although there is a tryout for the team, it is somewhat easier to get in than other sports programs. This sport is similar to swimming and you need some swimming skills like treading water and swimming freestyle.
Remaining Sports
This site does not have much information about the sports at Cedar Ridge. Here is a list of the remaining sports that can be taken:
