KG Sports

Building Christ-like Character Through Sports.

KG Sports is a kid-focused, family-friendly, Christ-centered sports league where we aim to encourage kids in their faith in Christ while also having fun playing a sport. The aim of our leagues, camps, and clinics is for athletes of all levels to grow in their game and their faith in Jesus Christ. From energizing sports sessions to meaningful times in God’s Word, every part of camp is designed to challenge and inspire.

What We Do

Learning how to play sports is important for many families. Besides skills, sports players are taught valuable lessons in teamwork, cooperation, and graciousness. For some Christian families, the time commitment and/or behavior of the members of a traditional sports league do not align with their family values. Kids of Grace Sports can fill an important desire for Christian families who want their children to play sports but not let sports and the sports culture overtake family time and family values

Programs We Offer

How We Do It

We exist for families who want more for their children than the pressure and burnout common in today’s sports world. We provide a fun, balanced, and spiritually grounded athletic experience for kids of all skill levels.

Each weekly session includes:

  • Skill Development Clinic (45 minutes)

  • Game Play & Scrimmages (45 minutes)

  • Devotional & Character Moment

Our coaches emphasize teamwork over showmanship, growth over perfection, and Christlike sportsmanship over competition at any cost.

KG Sports is where athletes learn the game, love the game, and honor God through the way they play.
