It becomes, therefore, very important for all physical education instructors to be aware of their legal situation. In recent years an increased number of court decisions have held that the physical education instructor is responsible for those injuries suffered by pupils under his instruction. Many excellent physical education programs have been ruined as a result of an instructor being found …
