Some people say that there is no better feeling than scoring that winning point, try, goal, net or basket. Other people say the feeling of truly pushing yourself to your athletic potential is second to none. Still others say that the feeling of trust, friendship and belonging get no better than in a sports team!

Sport is what you make of it – It can shape characters, form a system of values, helps develop a positive outlook on life – Most of all it is really good fun where often friendships for life are made

Have you ever stopped to think about where your sporting ability comes from?

At Christians in Sport we believe that your sporting ability comes from God. The hand-eye coordination you have to hit a tennis ball, or back-lift of the leg to strike a volley is a work of God?

Will you be different?
