Living Out the Acts 1:8 Mission Together
Where Everyone Plays
Throughout the year, ADP Sports offers a variety of leagues, camps, and clinics for both youth and adults that demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ through sports. Surrounded by an atmosphere of safety and fun, these programs are designed to encourage camaraderie and teach key character qualities through the dedication of the volunteers of our church ministry.
Mighty Mites Tee Ball (Ages 5-6)
Mighty Mites is a unique program designed to give players the best opportunity to learn the fundamentals of baseball through a practice-then-play setting. Former Major Leaguer and ADP Sports Director Mark Brown trains all coaches. The skills of baseball come alive through specially designed drills taught to the young ball players. The development of the players’ skills is evidenced in the short games that follow the practice. For parents, the opportunity to enjoy your child’s participation in a positive, fun atmosphere involves a one day per week commitment. Each Saturday session includes a 45-minute practice and 45-minute game; and the season lasts for seven weeks in the spring. The invitation is open for your child to be part of an involvement and instruction based league that allows them to learn baseball and grow in social development and spiritual awareness of God.
Happy 5 Soccer Club (Ages 5-12)
Understanding the growing popularity of soccer in the U.S., ADP Sports offers a fall soccer program that promotes total involvement for each child in a one-day, two hour session. Through a rotational format during the Saturday morning league, skill and social development is accomplished through drills, mini clinics, and three (3) short games. The games are played on age appropriate fields due to the size of the teams (5-on-5). During this program, our coaches minister to your child through character development. Coaches use “break time” to teach a short lesson on a biblical principle. The director of Happy 5 Soccer Club, a former college player, trains our coaches on a weekly basis, while preseason training is done by former professional soccer star Goran Hunjak. We invite you to participate in the most exciting and growing soccer program in Eastern Jackson County.
Pee Wee Football (Ages 5-12)
Building upon the success of the ADP Sports model, “Where everyone plays,” we now offer Pee Wee Football. In the fall months of September and October, young boys and girls can further their positive experience in ADP Sports by playing Pee Wee Football.
We will have a Saturday only program that consists of a 60-minute practice time followed by a 60-minute game time. The players will grow in their skills and character development through a well structured practice session. They will be coached on offensive and defensive fundamentals, as well as life skills in our uplifting Break Time devotions. There will be a game immediately following practice consisting of (2) 25 minutes (running time) halves and a 5-minute half time. Pee Wee Football Director Tom Perry looks forward to your child taking the field this fall for another great program at ADP Sports Park.
