Sports & Physical Education

The school offers physical education.  Children are required to participate unless a written excuse is given to the teacher by the parent on a daily basis.  Excuses for not participating should be because of illness or injuries only.

• Obedience - obeying the coach's orders

• Tenderheartedness - helping others who get hurt

• Loyalty - loyal to the team and teammates

• Courage - stand up to teams who are better and bigger

• Forgiveness - forgiving when others lose their temper

• Fairness - being fair to the other team; respecting the opposing team

Fun
Sports are for fun and enjoyment and a change of pace from the regular routine of life. Let's be sensitive to the times when our children stop having fun and play for blood.

Respect for Authority
In sports there are several figures of authority in the coach, the opposing coach, but especially the referee. We need to teach our boys and girls to appeal to him if there is a question.

Fellowship
We enter sports for the friendships we can make with our own team and the other teams. We should always play to win and try our hardest, but the other team is our friend before, during, and after the game.

Physical Development
Sports help to “round us out” as people. God has given most of us healthy bodies and we should try to keep them that way. Boys and girls at Mingo Valley Christian School are taught to:

• Pray for the other team

• Listen to the coach

• Try our hardest at all times

• Never, never, never argue with a coach, player or especially a referee

• Always have a good testimony

• Realize that God is ultimately responsible for a win or loss.
