Sports Ministry
Our church sports ministry here at Calvary seeks to create a place where boys and girls can worship their Father and Creator through soccer and basketball, regardless of their skill level or experience. Each league is designed to teach our children the wonderful truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ all while promoting an atmosphere of fun and encouraging competition. Both soccer and basketball have age-specific leagues from 4 years old through high school with coaches who are eager to give players both skills to play the game and a love of God.
If you are interested in serving, we have volunteers help with coaching, reffing, the concession stand, and more!

Basketball Volunteers Needed
We are in need of more volunteer referees available Saturdays in January and February for our church basketball league. No experience required! We also need some more snack stand helpers and coaches. If interested, email sportsdb@ccphilly.org or use the contact form on our sports page.
Basketball Registration
Our basketball league is filling up fast and is already on a waiting list in some age groups. However, we may be able to accommodate more players if we get enough volunteers to coach. Be sure to sign up as soon as possible to secure your child’s spot in our league. If you are interested in volunteering, use the contact form on our sports page to let us know!
