The intersection of faith and athletics creates a unique opportunity for young athletes to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. Our programs are designed not only to develop athletic skills but also to instill core Christian values that serve as a foundation for life.
Through every practice, game, and team huddle, CYO athletes have the chance to witness and live out Christian values such as teamwork, integrity, compassion, and perseverance. Our coaches and mentors guide them in understanding that sports are not just about winning but also about the journey, where character development takes center stage. We encourage prayer, reflection, and discussion to help young athletes strengthen their faith and appreciate the role it plays in every aspect of their lives. Our commitment to faith through sport is not just about winning games; it’s about winning hearts and nurturing individuals who strive to make a positive impact on and off the field. Join us on this incredible journey of faith, camaraderie, and personal growth, where Christian values are the driving force behind our sports programs.
1 Corinthians 9:24 (NIV): “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
This verse from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians emphasizes the importance of running (or competing) with purpose, discipline, and dedication in order to achieve success. It encourages individuals to give their best effort and strive for excellence, which are values often embraced in sports and athletics.
