Changing Communities By Reaching Families

AGES 11-18 OR GRADES 6-12

Soccer is a wonderful sport, and a great tool to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Unreached young people who may not feel comfortable going to a church, might feel comfortable to come and play a pickup game with our young leaders. This opens the door to talk to them about joining our Soccer Academy-which lead to relationships, discipleship, and life change.

What makes New Creation Soccer Academy entirely uncommon and an accessible way to share the gospel with every person in our academy? We use athletic training and competition to teach young men and women to be leaders, all the while relying completely on the Holy Spirit to open their eyes to their sin and growth. This comes out the moment our players step onto the field with one mind and purpose-to share the love of Christ.

We can’t take soccer into eternity. A person’s relationship with Christ is so much more important to them than being able to score a goal. For long term growth, discipleship is the key. This is why we have adopted a one room schoolhouse strategy. We have two different levels,  and there are three ranks inside of these levels: Captains and Commanders. The Captains will train separately from the Commanders. There must be at least two Captains in order to have a Captain class, and the same for the Commanders. Having multiple players per class allows us to have a bigger variety of skills practiced in real time, and we have the opportunity to have  1 v 1, or more scrimmages. This helps the players be able to put their skills to the test.
