Paladin Sports Outreach

When Paladin Sports Outreach was founded in 2008 the goal was to serve southeast valley children and their families through the vehicle of sport-but just as important was the goal of seeing these same children and families coming to know, or grow in their walk, with Jesus Christ! It has always been public knowledge that Paladin Sports Outreach is a Christian-based community organization. However, it has become apparent to us that we have not done a very good job of promoting our faith in our programs, events and service opportunities. With that said, we are very excited to announce the following format changes: In addition to the required background check, all potential volunteers will be required to sign a statement of faith before they are able to volunteer as a coach, instructor or other representative of Paladin Sports Outreach. All Paladin Sports Outreach sanctioned programs (practices, games, and sessions) will open with prayer, led by a Paladin representative or volunteer. Short devotions, specifically designed for Paladin Sports Outreach, will be introduced in all regular programming. These devotions will focus on character traits like honor, teamwork, sportsmanship, attitude, loyalty, trustworthiness, etc. Each parent will be required to sign a Parental Conduct Form prior to the beginning of every program season. The organization's key Bible verse (Psalm 7:10) will be added to the primary logo and to all program shirts. Our leadership team has spent countless hours in fasting, prayer and discussion over these changes and we strongly feel that they will have immeasurable kingdom-impact on our community. We invite your comments and questions and appreciate your feedback. Please direct your feedback, in the form of an e-mail, to our Board at [email protected].
