These figures come from our state requirements registry. We hold no statutory citation for Minnesota 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 Minnesota, open it in the checker, or read how we source this.

We hold no Minnesota-specific credit rule. The conventional figure is 120 hours for a full Carnegie credit; confirm the figure your evaluator or umbrella school applies.
Our registry records physical education as required in Minnesota and holds no list of approved activities, so the subject is what is asked for, not a sport. 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.
