Chapter 43 - WHERE'S THE TEAM? ATHLETICS AT HOME
第43章 - 团队在哪里？家庭体育运动

"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules . . . it is war minus the shooting."
—George Orwell, "The Sporting Spirit"

"严肃的体育运动与公平竞争无关。它与仇恨、嫉妒、自夸、无视所有规则联系在一起……它是战争减去射击。"
——乔治·奥威尔，《体育精神》

Can home schoolers play team sports? It depends on what you mean. If your teenager has a good chance of becoming a professional basketball or football player, home schooling probably isn't a good option. There's simply no foolproof way to plug a home-schooled student into the pro-sports assembly line that starts in high school.

在家教育者能参加团队运动吗？这取决于你的意思。如果你的青少年很有机会成为职业篮球或足球运动员，家庭教育可能不是一个好选择。根本没有万无一失的方法让在家接受教育的学生进入从高中开始的职业体育流水线。

But student athletes who are serious contenders for a professional team sports career make up a very small segment of the total high-school population. For the average, academically inclined teenager, we think the question of organized team sports has gotten too much emphasis.

但是那些真正有望在职业团队运动中发展职业生涯的学生运动员只占高中人口中很小的一部分。对于普通的、学术倾向的青少年，我们认为有组织的团队运动问题得到了过多的重视。

How many students will find that team sports make up an important part of life after high school? And even in a regular school, very few students are actually able to play regularly on official teams.

有多少学生会发现团队运动构成高中毕业后生活的重要部分？即使在普通学校，真正能够定期在正式队伍中比赛的学生也很少。

However, home schoolers can make arrangements to take part in team sports. Church and community leagues often welcome home schoolers—call your local Parks and Recreation office for information on community leagues.

然而，在家教育者可以做出安排参加团队运动。教堂和社区联盟通常欢迎在家教育者——致电当地公园和娱乐办公室获取社区联盟的信息。

Check the bulletin boards at local sports stores to find out about special-interest sports groups and small clubs; many of these are family-oriented and welcome all ages. Youth groups such as Little League, 4-H, Scouts, Camp Fire, and Civil Air Patrol sponsor sports teams.

查看当地体育用品商店的公告板，了解特殊兴趣运动群体和小型俱乐部；其中许多以家庭为导向，欢迎所有年龄段。青少年组织如小联盟、4-H、童子军、营火会和民航巡逻队都赞助运动队。

Home-school support groups, particularly in areas where home schooling is popular, sponsor teams especially for home schoolers. Call several local support groups (your state home-schooling organization can give you names and numbers), and find out whether any of them has put a basketball, baseball, or soccer team together.

家庭学校支持团体，特别是在家庭教育流行地区，专门为在家教育者赞助队伍。致电几个当地支持团体（你所在州的家庭教育组织可以提供姓名和电话号码），了解他们中是否有人组建了篮球、棒球或足球队。

(If no one has, you can always start your own.) Your state organization may also know of home-school teams; some states have organized statewide home-school leagues. Private schools, especially smaller ones, are often willing to allow home schoolers to play on school teams.

（如果没有人组建，你总是可以自己开始。）你的州组织也可能了解家庭学校队伍；一些州已经组织了全州范围的家庭学校联盟。私立学校，特别是较小的学校，通常愿意允许在家教育者在学校队伍中比赛。

If no one's ever asked to do this before, suggest that your child try it for a few weeks on a trial basis. As in other high-school subjects, use your community-college resources for older students. A teenaged home schooler can enroll for physical-education (or kinesiology) classes.

如果以前从未有人要求这样做，建议你的孩子以试用的方式尝试几周。就像其他高中科目一样，为年长的学生使用社区大学资源。青少年在家教育者可以报名参加体育教育（或运动学）课程。

This can lead to team participation once the student becomes familiar with the coaches and sports staff. Some states make specific provisions for home-schooled students to participate in public-school sports.

一旦学生与教练和体育工作人员变得熟悉，这可能导致团队参与。一些州为在家教育的学生参与公立学校体育运动制定了具体规定。

Call your state organization and ask what the existing policy is. In many states, there's no official policy—you'll simply need to approach your school district and ask whether your child can participate. However, if you've taken your child out of school to avoid a destructive social environment, this obviously is not a good choice.

致电你的州组织，询问现行政策是什么。在许多州，没有官方政策——你只需要接触你的学校学区，询问你的孩子是否可以参与。然而，如果你让孩子退学是为了避免破坏性的社会环境，这显然不是一个好选择。

A more relaxed approach to physical education is simply making sure that your children exercise every day, from kindergarten through twelfth grade. In elementary and middle school, play games together at least twice a week (we've suggested three good books on children's games in the Resources at the end of this chapter).

体育教育更轻松的方法就是确保你的孩子从幼儿园到十二年级每天都锻炼。在小学和中学，每周至少一起玩两次游戏（我们在本章末尾的资源部分推荐了三本关于儿童游戏的好书）。

Jessie concentrated on general physical fitness and on sports skills that could be honed either individually or without a large team of people: running (Susan ran a half marathon at thirteen), cycling (her brother trained alone or with Mom "drafting" him in the station wagon), horseback riding, tennis, golf, handball, swimming.

杰西专注于一般身体健康和可以单独或无需大型团队就能磨练的运动技能：跑步（苏珊在十三岁时跑了半程马拉松），骑自行车（她的弟弟独自训练或与妈妈一起训练，妈妈开着旅行车为他"破风"），骑马、网球、高尔夫、手球、游泳。

All are suitable for individual recreation as well as for competition, if the student enjoys the challenge. Walking is free (except for good shoes) and can be done alone or with a friend or sibling.

如果学生喜欢挑战，所有这些都适合个人娱乐以及竞争。步行是免费的（除了好鞋），可以独自进行或与朋友或兄弟姐妹一起进行。

Aerobics can be done in a regular class or with a home video. Pickup games of basketball, softball, and soccer with family and friends teach basic games-playing skills. Activities such as hiking, karate, skating, skiing, swimming, dancing (folk, ethnic, ballroom, classical, modern), and weight training can be learned privately.

有氧运动可以在常规课程中进行或使用家庭视频。与家人和朋友进行的篮球、垒球和足球的随意比赛教授基本的游戏技能。徒步旅行、空手道、滑冰、滑雪、游泳、舞蹈（民间、民族、交谊、古典、现代）和重量训练等活动可以私下学习。

Investigate classes at your local community recreation center; generally, these are offered for a wide range of ages and levels. Clubs and gyms offer instruction in martial arts, gymnastics, fencing, and other sports or skills. As described in Chapter 39, the high-school student should, for at least two years, keep a log of hours spent doing physical activity.

调查当地社区娱乐中心的课程；通常，这些课程为各种年龄和水平提供。俱乐部和健身房提供武术、体操、击剑和其他运动或技能的指导。如第39章所述，高中学生至少应该连续两年保持进行体育活动小时数的记录。

Including in the log brief descriptions of the activity itself and the skills practiced and mastered. These logs can serve as the basis for credits awarded for physical education. The student must devote 120 hours per year to doing physical activity in order to earn 1 unit of credit; 2 units are required for high-school graduation.

在记录中包括活动本身以及练习和掌握的技能的简要描述。这些记录可以作为体育教育学分的基础。学生必须每年投入120小时进行体育活动才能获得1个学分单位；高中毕业需要2个单位。

Another kind of physical activity that is often overlooked is physical work, which builds muscles as well as character. Jessie's home schoolers cut grass, gardened, took care of animals (carrying feed and water in freezing weather as well as cleaning their living quarters), and hired themselves out to trusted friends and neighbors for housework and yardwork.

另一种经常被忽视的体育活动是体力劳动，既锻炼肌肉又培养品格。杰西的在家教育者割草、园艺、照顾动物（在冰冻天气中搬运饲料和水以及清洁它们的生活区），并向值得信任的朋友和邻居出租自己做家务和院子工作。
