YOUTH PICKLEBALL MINISTRY

January 2026

Our Youth Pickleball Ministry is off to an inspiring start! This is our first year partnering with the Upward Sports system, which equips our league with outstanding training resources, advisory support, and a user‑friendly online and mobile platform for communication, scheduling, and registration.

Our league welcomes youth from 4th through 8th grade. Sixteen athletes are competing in two divisions, supported by nine dedicated coaches who lead practices, games, and Christ‑centered devotionals. Each Saturday morning, athletes and their families gather for a time of learning, teamwork, and joyful play.

It’s a privilege to watch local young athletes grow in skill, sportsmanship, confidence, and—most importantly—their understanding of the love of Jesus Christ. This ministry is already bearing fruit, and we are grateful for every coach, parent, and player who is helping it flourish.
