With schools closing and some having closed already as a result of COVID-19 we thought we would compile a list of sport documentaries and films, that could be used to support home learning in physical education.
Of course our preference would be to encourage children and young adults to be active during this unprecedented time, but it may not always be possible, in such cases a sporting documentary or film could provide the stimulus to reflect upon sport, sportsmanship, individual journeys, the sports industry and life more broadly.
Physical Education and Sport Movies
This is by no means a complete list please comment below and add your suggestions. Just a note of caution however, please view the film and check its appropriateness for your classes prior to recommending viewing. To help you determine their appropriateness their rating is including below.
