Couse description
Team sports, extreme sports, and outdoor sports are among the types of activities students learn about and participate in during this course. This interactive, highly animated course helps students learn why spiritual health is the most important dimension of health and yet why exercise is still important from a biblical perspective. In addition, they will discover how to improve skills and sportsmanship and how to establish and accomplish goals. This course provides an overview of many dual, team, extreme, and outdoor sports.
Students have the opportunity to earn a national award by participating in the Presidential Fitness Challenge. Practicing game strategy, putting the goal of winning in its proper biblical framework, improving athletic skill and performance, respecting and loving athletes of all kinds and backgrounds, managing peer pressure and stress in a biblical way, and making good choices balance out the topics students discover in this course. Fitness logs help students monitor physical activities. Students complete projects that lead to the knowledge, skills, and values they need to implement and maintain a physically and spiritually active lifestyle.
