At the start of July, Ryan shared with us of his experience coaching Upward Soccer. This Sunday Pastor Cook shared that the enrollment for Upward Soccer is significantly higher this year than any year in the past. It is apparent that God is using this ministry for his glory.

Of course, with this increase in enrollment on the part of families from our community comes our responsibility and privilege to meet this opportunity with enthusiasm. We have until the start of September to fill thirteen more coaching slots.

Qualifications:
Physical qualifications are minimal: recognition of the difference between feet and ball, and the purpose of each.

Time Commitment:
Time requirements include one hour of practice on a weeknight of your choosing and approximately one hour on Saturdays between the hours of 10:00 and 2:30. Practice sessions will begin the first of September and Saturday games will begin the middle of September. The league concludes the first of November. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with the community, show the church’s love, and perhaps share the gospel of Jesus.

How To Get Involved:
Please contact Blake Ring (bring[at]ninthandobaptist[dot]org) to sign up. For those interested, there is a non-mandatory training session this Saturday, August 11th, at the church.
