Future professional events

1st Annual Future Professionals College Bowl

In this high-energy Jeopardy-style competition, teams of future professionals will represent their colleges and test their knowledge in physical education, health, wellness, recreation, physical activity, fitness, and more. With questions submitted by university professors, the competition is sure to be both challenging and exciting.

Spectators encouraged! Grab your lunch and get ready for an epic battle of Pennsylvania’s colleges and universities! Future professionals, rally behind your school, and alumni, come cheer on your alma mater. More details about how to sign up your university team will be available in the Fall.

Future Professional Lunch Keynote with Jo Bailey!

Future professionals will come together for an inspiring and meaningful message from SHAPE PA Headline Presenter, Jo Bailey. Jo brings a world of experience—literally. Originally from the UK, she’s taught in the UK, Hong Kong, and now the U.S. She’s a National Board Certified Teacher, a Google Certified Innovator, and the 2013 SHAPE America Midwest High School PE Teacher of the Year. Jo also previously served on the SHAPE America Board of Directors and is widely recognized as one of the top presenters in the field. Her global perspective, tech-savvy approach, and passion for quality physical education make her a can't-miss presenter. We can’t wait for our future professionals to learn, grow, and be inspired by Jo!
