Second Presbyterian Church 2004 Spring Soccer Registration Jan

Second Presbyterian Church 08-09 SK Basketball Registration September 8-26

The Recreation Program of Second Presbyterian Church is a church-supported nonprofit program designed for boys and girls ages 5-18. Second Presbyterian Church has provided this program for over 20 years teaching and coaching youth the many values athletics have to offer.

The mission of the Second Presbyterian Church Recreation Program is to combine spiritual fortitude with athletic experiences to produce well-rounded men and women of moral character. Second has adopted the philosophy of the AMERICAN SPORT EDUCATION PROGRAM and the Positive Coaching Alliance by striving to place the athlete first and winning second in all its youth sports programs. Through competition we hope our athletes will learn how to win and lose graciously while competing with diligence that would be pleasing to our Lord and Savior.

This year we will be registering online at www.2pcsports.org. This should make it more convenient for everyone. Senior Kindergarten basketball will be coed and they will be divided up into teams. Each team will have their own coach, and will be playing other Second Pres teams. The teams will have 7-8 kids and there will be 4 on the court at a time. This way the kids can have more touches and begin learning defense and offence of basketball. They will be playing on 8 foot goals and be using 27.5 balls. At this age we believe it is still important for the kids to build a love for the game. We want them to have fun, as well as learn about basketball.

Questions and Answer Form

How do we select teams? Our goal in selecting teams is to make each team equal in athleticism, age, and grade so each child can receive the best opportunities to succeed. Our procedure is made up of 3 step processes: 1) To evaluate each child’s physical ability compared to their age. Former coaches and the staff at 2PC perform these evaluations. 2) To divide each team with an equal amount of age/grade athletes. 3) To accommodate at least 1 friend request for each child.

How do we select coaches? Our goal is to provide every child with a coach that knows the important skills of the game and who also knows the love of Christ. Each of our coaches have different ways they present their knowledge, but all understand the importance of producing well rounded men and women of moral character.

Where does the registration money go? We want to offer you and your child a program that is exceptional while at the same time financially affordable. Your money goes to leagues registration fees, equipment, uniforms, pictures, & trophies (all bold items are yours to keep).Our fees are consistent to other churches and athletic associations.
