PURPOSE: To teach kids that sports is FUN, learn how to do your best, follow instructions, be equipped with skills of the game, winning is the goal BUT not the focus and end-all.  How to handle losing and winning with Grace.  This is similar as Upward Sports programs for those who are familiar.


ABOUT US:
Calvary Full Gospel Church - Sports Ministries started in the Fall of 2010.  Since that time, nearly 700 kids participated in our Flag Football, Indoor Floor Hockey, Street Hockey Leagues and our Baseball, Football, and Hockey camps.

Families from as far away as Eastern Ohio and a 60-mile radius have joined our Sports Ministries program. We are open and invite families from the surrounding communities to participate.

If you were to speak with anyone that participated in the past or familiar currently with us, they would most likely say..."It is fun, well organized and on time, the people volunteering are dedicated to serving the kids and their families as a priority.  Winning is important but not the end-all.  No yelling coaches, and focus is on teaching the sport."
