This work analyzes the appropriateness of implementing Sport Education with second graders, through the experience of a pre-service teacher, the collaborator teacher, and students' perceptions during a teaching unit of Dodgeball conducted following the features of Sport Education. Pre-service teacher's and collaborator teacher's perceptions were analyzed through interviews. Students' perceptions were analyzed through the "Physical Education Season Survey" (Mohr, Townsend, Rairigh y Mohr, 2003; Hastie y Sinelnikov, 2006) and through drawings. Results are consistent with Spanish and international literature conducted with older students, thus, it can be conclude that Sport Education model can be appropriate for students as young as seven years old.
