Physical Education for Progress (PEP) Act PE4LIFE P.E.4LIFE is a national, non-profit advocacy organization that serves as the collective voice for promoting quality, daily physical education programs for America's youth.
Concerned Adults and Students for Physical Education Reform (CASPER) CASPER (Concerned Adults and Students for Physical Education Reform) is a non profit advocacy organization for students, parents, teachers and others interested in eliminating inappropriate practices from physical education. CASPER demands that teachers stop using the kinds of practices that can seriously harm students' self-esteem, such as: using "captains" to pick teams, exercise as punishment, fitness testing in the "spotlight", and elimination games. These practices should be eliminated because they work against what CASPER considers to be the main purpose of physical education: guiding students in the process of becoming physically active for the rest of their lives.
