Passing this along from Allison Recla........
My husband, Adam, is starting a flag football ministry for boys ages 7-12. The flag football is not exclusively for homeshoolers, but there will be some home-
schoolers participating, and he has a heart for homeshoolers because we homeschool. It is a great opportunity for any boy wanting to learn more about football. UplifT Sports is a ministry of Windsor Locks Congregational Church EFCA that seeks to build faith and character by investing in youth athletes. In my life, I have seen God teach me many lessons of faith when playing sports. Athletic competition and practice provided me with a proving ground for applying God’s word in areas like teamwork, integrity, God-reliance, respect for others, trust, keeping hope and giving encouragement. There is an element of training hard and competing that helps us see our need for God. In gaining feedback from a coach and striving for excellence on the field, athletes learn to be a winner by doing their best and get more from the experience.
When athletes see their faith in action, they can translate this trust in God toward much more important areas of life.
UplifT Sports flag football is for boys ages 7-12 and will run from September 25 to November 6 on Saturdays from 10AM to Noon at Reed Park, Reed Avenue in Windsor Locks.
We’ll have a lot of fun, run through some drills for skill building and play some games.
All you need to bring is water/refreshments to stay hydrated.
