Local, Low Cost Play
Youth athletes of all incomes can play with no need for expensive uniforms, equipment, and travel.
Playing with less to grow more
When you look at youth sports today, it's easy to see how different it is from sandlot style play enjoyed by generations before. High costs, pressure to perform, and taxing time commitments have led a growing number of youth athletes to retire from their games early and not go on to enjoy the physical, emotional, and leadership oriented benefits that sports should be able to provide.
River Rock Bible Church's Shepherds Sports ministry believes that keeping kids in the game keeps them on track towards living fulfilling adult lives. By playing with less so kids can grow more (no uniforms, equipment requirements, or expensive travel), youth athletes will have opportunities to mature by exercising creativity, setting goals to achieve, learning interpersonal skills and developing a love of physical activity for its own sake. By helping them have the heart of a shepherd, we believe they will learn to care for one another through tried and true relational and community building skill sets. Plus, playing with Shepherds Sports is just a whole lot of fun!
