Our Goals:

 

To promote…

-FAITHFULNESS…by teaching youth the blessings of hard work and dedication as they endeavor to be their best

Matthew 25:21

Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things.

 

To respect the…

-AUTHORITY…of coaches and referees

Hebrews 13:17

Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden.

 

To embrace…

-INTEGRITY - being above reproach at all times.

Proverbs 4:23-27

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

 

To be committed to…

-TEAMWORK…putting the team above yourself at all times.

 

Philippians 2:2-3

Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition, or vain conceit but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

 

To play for…

-HIS…Glory

 

Col 3:17

And whatever you do whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father, through Him.
