Reaching the world for Christ through Sport

ATTENTION !!                  

WEEKEND AWAY 3rd-5th FEB 2012

See bottom of page for more details

SportsReach is an interdenominational ministry which uses sport, especially soccer and netball, as a means to reach people of all ages with the life changing reality of a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Through sport, we seek to build friendships with all types of people, regardless of age, race, gender or religion to lead them to find wholesome, balanced lives with moral integrity through faith in Christ.

Soccer and Netball Schools

These are for children aged 7-14. A typical soccer and netball school contains a quality coaching programme, with the purpose of developing soccer and netball skills; fun games and competitions, to create an atmosphere of enjoyment and fun; a daily bible time, which helps to develop the moral and spiritual aspects of a child's life. We teach good sportsmanship and fair play and equal attention is given to children who have less ability. The schools are linked with local churches and have a great positive impact on the community.

Soccer Tours and Missions

We run annual tours overseas where we play local teams as well as run soccer schools. This provides a great opportunity for local footballers to experience playing in another country, to develop lasting friendships and enjoy healthy competition.  We share the reality of our faith in after-game presentations, and give out bible’s and other Christian literature if appropriate. Wherever possible we work with local churches and missionaries.

SportsReach League's

We have developed 3 league's: football, 5 a side and netball.  The football league provides competitive matches for adult players each Saturday during the football season. Each team has Christian leadership and at the beginning of each match (even friendlies) a short devotional message or testimony is given.  The league is for non-church people in the community and its aim is to show the relevance of the Christian Faith.  The 5 a side league is a shorter league, run at Carnforth High School on the astroturf from October to February.  It again is very competitive and is run in much the same way as the Saturday league, with a Christian message shared at each game.  The Netball league runs at Ripley St Thomas High School on Wednesday evenings from September to March.  Again the league is run in the same way in that each team has Christian leadership and at every game a Gospel message will be shared.
