These figures come from our state requirements registry. We hold no statutory citation for Alabama yet, and nobody has checked the figures above against a statute text; we would rather say so than invent one. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them. See what we hold for Alabama, open it in the checker, or read how we source this.

Soccer training that is planned, taught and logged is PE instruction: keep the date, the minutes, what was taught and who taught it. Your evaluator, umbrella school or district decides whether the record is enough.
