With such limited time with my students each week, I love having the resources and lessons laid out for teaching health to kick off each class. I also use the CatholicFIT exercises in my after-school boot camp."
From using CatholicFIT exercises in my running club, to teaching health principles using the Catechism, the program really have been great, helping students learn about their faith from a new perspective.
To see faith integrated into P.E. seems so natural. It has facilitated some good faith and fitness talks at home, plus at the at-home exercise have been good for me too!
Students explore and integrate both their Catholic and fitness identities with tools to build healthy, lifelong habits.
Program surveys indicate 83% of families increase their faith and fitness discussions at home, and many families stretch together during the program.
Teachers receive youth fitness resources based on the latest research and best practices from a trusted, accredited, and Catholic source.
The grade school curriculum includes weekly worksheets, exercises (basic and advanced versions), emails to parents, and supplementary videos.
The curriculum is aligned with SHAPE America, the IYCA, and Loyola University's National Standards & Benchmarks for Catholic Education.
The CatholicFIT app allows you to play supplementary videos for class, in homeroom, or at home from any smartboard or mobile device.
