BCA Sports Program
Welcome to the Physical Education webpage. It is our goal at Bethel Christian Academy to help every child reach his or her full physical potential, and to utilize the gifts and talents that God has blessed them with to their maximum capability. Programs such as “Jump Rope for Heart,” and the “President’s Council on Physical Fitness,” are just a part of what BCA offers to help children reach their maximum potential. We believe that every child at Bethel Christian Academy has been blessed by God with some kind of physical skill or talent, and it is the job of the physical education teacher to help that child recognize what physical skills, abilities, and talents that he or she has. Every child is required to do the very best that he or she can because that is what the Lord Jesus Christ expects out of every one of us.
One of the most important principles stressed in the Physical Education Program at Bethel Christian Academy is teamwork. Each and every child is taught the importance of coming alongside a fellow classmate and helping him or her to be all they can be. From Pre-Kindergarten thru Eighth Grade, team sports (basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.) are taught from beginning to a more advanced level. The key to mastering team sports is teamwork. Teams do not necessarily need superstars to be successful! At Bethel Christian Academy the emphasis is on children encouraging one another and working together to achieve a common goal. When each child brings his or her unique skills and talents to a team and learns how to apply those talents with others’ talents the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts and team excels.
A very important part of the Physical Education Program at Bethel Christian Academy is our League Sports for 5th thru 8th Grade Boys and Girls. Every 5th thru 8th Grade student is strongly encouraged to participate in League sports. It is here where the student takes what he or she has learned during Gym class and applies it as part of a team in an actual game. Students can compete in the following league sports against teams from other Christian Schools:
League Sports at Bethel Christian Academy are coached by Parent Volunteers who possess high quality teaching and mentoring skills, and who excel or have excelled in any of the aforementioned league sports. Our coaches are strong and dedicated Christians who instill in the children the fact that all of us must be good witnesses for the Lord and exhibit Christian integrity and character both on and off the court.
