Sports Camp Countdown - Saturday Training

It's only nine days until hundreds of kids from all over Cleveland ascend upon our church to take part in our "Focus Sports Camp". On Saturday, June 13, the children's ministry held it's final volunteer training. This three-hour long interactive morning was the third training session and was attended by about 40 of the newest volunteers and people who couldn't attend the previous sessions.

The morning started with one of the incredibly powerful clips from the movie "Facing The Giants." Then the sports camp leaders shared the purpose of the camp, registration procedures, everyone's roles, schedule, etc.















Then it was off to breakouts for each of the coaches to teach sport specific skills and approaches to their clinics to people assisting their skill area.

Basketball














Cheerleading














Football














Soccer




























In the last large-group session, several people covered safety, discipline, how to teach the small group cirriculum and Pam did a great job of showing everyone how to share the gospel using the bridge illustration.

Everything is lining up for this incredible week at PHBC. Please pray for God's leading through sports camp and through the follow-up events that are being planned!
