Kindergarten – 8th grade

Cedar Springs Sports

We build deep relationships through sports.

Many kids thrive when they’re in an environment that engages them through recreation — it’s fun!

Each year we offer youth sports leagues in the fall, winter, and spring, and youth sports camps in the summer. Our sports leagues and a camps are open to the community. We hope you will join us!

What To Expect

Kids are invited to develop their sports skills in a Christ-centered environment. We guarantee equal playing time for every player. We stress sportsmanship and character development. And during each weekly practice, we’ll lead the team in a scripture-based devotion.

Our leagues are about more than just the game. Sports are our vehicle to teach kids about the Bible and how to apply it to their daily lives.

Many kids thrive when they’re in an environment that engages them through recreation — it’s fun! By connecting with them through a sport they love, we’re able to help them develop their athletic skills as well as help them as they develop spiritually.

Through sports, we want your kids to feel more connected with God, find their identity in him, and have deep, Christ-centered relationships with their friends, coaches, and teammates.

Want to be a coach?

You don’t have to be athletic or know everything about sports to coach at Cedar Springs. If you care about kids, want to have fun with them, and want to invest your time in building relationships with them to share the gospel, then you can coach. We can teach you what you need to know about sports!
