The purpose of this study is to share the results of an analysis on the state of new sports newly implemented in elementary school physical education. Four elementary teachers who adopted new sports in their teaching were selected as participants in this study. The interview data, class observations, and documents that were gathered were then analyzed. During the planning stage of this study, the four participants, who were found to have understood the newly edited 2007 version of national curriculum, examined their students' aptitude for new sports and acquired authorization to adapt new sports into their instruction from their supervisors. During the implementation and observation stage, the participants adopted new sports instruction during morning activities and after class. They found that the number of students who participated in new sports increased quickly due new sports' positive impression amongst students as well as colleagues. Participants took up various courses of training and study in order to stimulate the adoption of new sports. They also actively worked with the mangers and supervisors on the committee to create better conditions for the study of new sports. The study results revealed the educational value of new sports, which as easy and fun forms of exercise draw the active participation of many students. Further consideration of elementary school teachers' positive impression of new sports are strongly encouraged before the implementation of the newly edited version of national curriculum in 2007.
