“The world would have us believe that winning or success is measured by points on a scoreboard or by dollar signs. The Christian realises that winning or success is determined by whether or not a goal has been achieved, and that goal is to bring glory to God.” Thomas M. Boqdon
OVERVIEW
Students participate in small-sided games, where they develop a Christian perspective towards competition with a view to promoting sportsmanship and cooperation. The program aims to develop coordination, skill and tactical play in more complex situations using a ‘game based’ approach. Promoting fitness for life and understanding the desire that God has for us to care for our bodies is an integral part of the program. This is addressed by exposing students to a range of sports and activities they not only focus on participation but also organisational roles.

ASSESSMENT
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
