“Our vision is to see children from our community accept Christ into their hearts. What better way to do that than through sports?"

Playing With Purpose

• Teaches fundamentals
• Unique substitution system produces equal playing time
• Trained coaches and referees that encourage your child
• Life lessons shared at each practice
• Quality game-day uniform, other sport-specific gear and multiple recognition awards
• One-hour practices and one-hour games

Sports are an avenue for us to invest in our community and share about Jesus Christ.

The Mobberly Baptist sports ministry is open to children in our community K-6th grade. We are a recreational fundamental league, with a dose of healthy competition. We offer Upward football and cheer is the Fall, then soccer in the Spring. We have young athletes at all skill levels participating in our Upward sports leagues. Based off of our substitution method, all players will have equal amounts of playing time throughout the season. Our coaches and volunteers invest in children in multiple ways. They help children learn and improve their mental and physical abilities but also guide children to grow spiritually by learning the values of discipline, good sportsmanship and peer encouragement. And of course, they’ll have fun!
