The Philippines is still making the transition from holding online classes to reopening the schools for in-person classes more than two years after the pandemic began. Only in November 2021, 20 months after the pandemic began, were the first formal face-to-face classes resumed in the country. At that time, 100 public schools and 30 private schools took part in a pilot program for a small number of in-person classes.                 The study aimed to determine the perception on transition to face-to-face classes its influences on the students readiness in physical education to come up with recommendations and conclusions. The new educational norm emphasizes self-paced learning in conjunction with the changing use of technology in the modern world and the field of transition to face-to-face classes. It is an extension that each student has his or her own abilities and intelligence, and it assesses constructivists and self-innovators. The purpose of the study was accompanied by a quantitative approach using a descriptive – survey method of research.                 Researcher use stratified random sampling when they want to access differs from simple random sampling, which involves the random selection of data from an entire population, so each possible sample is equally likely to occur. After the collection of data from two hundred (200) grade 9 students in Unson National High School, the data were tallied, tabulated, and analyzed using the formula for weighted mean, standard deviation, Kendall tau Rank Correlation was used to examine the inferences of this research. The result implies that students learn more by doing the activity rather than just reading. They can apply and remember more their prior knowledge as they recall more the things they have heard, watched, and did. Students participate actively in Physical Education class as they feel happy being involved in teaching and learning process. Based on the findings and analysis of data shown in the study, the level of students perception based on social status, emotional health, class size, and learning style had significant influences on their level of readiness in Physical Education in terms of prior knowledge, classroom behavior, cognitive skills, class participation, and sense of belongingness. To have more reliable results since the study only cater on the readiness of Grade 9 students it may also be necessary to explore and examine the perception of other grade level in future research endeavours in this area. This would provide a more holistic understanding about perception on transition to face-to-face classes its influences on the students readiness in physical education. Also, increase the sample size of the respondents to obtain a more reliable and robust results.
