The Importance of Our Youth!!!

The kids having fun at this year's Soccer Clinics

Anyone who has been involved with Shepherd Sports over the last year probably knows who Charles is by now. Nearly a year ago, we brought Charles on to head up our Youth Sports Programs and what an amazing job he has done. Charles has a great gift with kids and parents alike. The kids love him and I love him even more for taking over this much-needed area of our ministry.
In society today there are a lot of opportunities for our youth to get involved in sports. However, after looking around at the quality of coaches, fields, and programs, I find many of them are lacking something. I would argue that the missing ingredient is Jesus Christ. In all we do with our youth, we desire to have coaches with godly character who teach our kids biblical principles. It's important that any young person active in sports sees and is surrounded by good Christian role models both on and off the field. I'm proud to have Charles as a leader who always exemplifies these attributes, and I believe any parent who has had their child in any one of our programs would find this to be true.
As we grow, we need more godly men and women to step up and be leaders. If this is something you have ever wondered about, we would love to have you join us. We offer training for coaches and currently have needs in both our Youth Soccer and Youth Basketball programs.
