The research objective was to analyze possibilities of approaching the school scenario in Physical Education initial training - teaching. The analysis method was qualitative and comprehended 59 subjects, 41 of which were undergraduate students, and 18 were professors, all participating by means of semi-structured interviews. Data were treated through content analysis with the aid of NVivo 10 software. Both professors and students pointed out supervised traineeship as the main activity carried out during the course for approaching the school environment. The interviews also highlighted the need for other initiatives that strengthen contact with schools throughout initial training in order to broaden the repertoire of experiences encompassing a Physical Education teacher’s routine in Basic Education, such as PCC, which can be established as a strategy to make this diversification viable.
