What Goes Around Comes Around as Frisbee Lessons Help Teach Fair Play at Christ College

 

Year 7 Students at Christ College have been enjoying a series of sports lessons with a difference.

 

Wes Bell and Paul Bennett from Cheltenham Youth for Christ have used games such as Football and Basket Ball, as well as Unihoc, Danish Long Ball and the Frisbee as platforms to introduce the concepts of winning with humility, losing with dignity, team work and fair play.

 

Says Wes: “They are important values we are teaching, reflecting as they do the Christian ethos of the school.”

 

Christ College PE Teacher Anna Williams says:” Both the girls and boys in Year 7 have really enjoyed participating and learning new sports, and at the same time they have looked at Christian values and how they can be linked to the world of sport”.
 

She continues: “A big thank you goes out to Wes Bell and his team for his continual motivation and enthusiasm that he has passed onto the pupilsWe look forward to working with him next year”,
