Horizon's multidimensional
Physical Education Curriculum looks to goals beyond that of pure physical fitness.
Physical Education helps students to learn how to use the body as an instrument for God, a goal which acts as the end for other objectives such as fitness & sports education, a commitment to fitness, competition and sports conduct. The first lesson includes notes for using the curriculum, including physical education, goals, curriculum model, plans, administration notes and other teaching helps, all of which are given from a Christian perspective.
Chapters include information on administrative factors in high school fitness education, extra curricular intramurals, clubs and interscholastic athletics, team sports, specialized sport skills, and notes on helping students to build strength and flexibility. Over 40 Exercises, fitness evaluation charts, drills, stewardship lessons and various other activities are described and illustrated; many include ideas for which two or multiple students will be necessary. Physical Education integrates actual physical activities with teaching on the total health of the body, Scripture-related lessons, communication skills, new sports terminology, and other non-active content. 733 pages, softcover. Grades 9-12.
