“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 investigate a number of different strategies using a ‘game sense’ approach, where the focus is not only on technical proficiency, but a greater emphasis is placed on the development of tactics and decision-making. It involves the use of small-sided games to develop skills rather than the practice of discrete skills in isolation or through conditioned drills. Practice games always involve players or students making choices. Through involvement in the small-sized games, students develop a Christian perspective towards competition with a view to promoting sportsmanship and cooperation.

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
