Affordable for All Churches

As a self-sustaining ministry, you can start a sports experience anytime during the year. This is a great alternative to other youth sports leagues that have yearly and annual fees. We want to keep your costs low so you can impact all families in your community!

Ministry Materials

Outreach is key! We come alongside you to supply weekly devotions, outreach ideas, Gospel presentation materials, collaboration with other ministry leaders, communication tools, and much more. We want to support you as you share the Gospel and build relationships.

Multiple Sports Options

Leagues are designed to include practice & gamedays for 6-12 weeks, based on the timeline you create. Sports is a great way to engage your community & congregation! Outside of a league experience - Camps, Clinics, and one day Connect events support your sports ministry.

Customizable Sports Package

Design a unique sports experience with your community and church needs in mind. Create your league package and apparel items that support your outreach ministry and set you apart. Don't forget, you can even add your church logo as a custom jersey. We know one size doesn't fit all.
