The Mt. Zion UMC Youth Sports Ministry is Christ-centered and has been dedicated to helping boys and girls from ages 4 through 18 enjoy fun sports, improve their skills, and grow in a safe environment since 1987. Four sports are available to children and youth from Mt. Zion UMC and our community. The Youth Sports Ministry staff is highly experienced in managing youth sports and ministering to children and youth. Christ-centered devotions are shared for each activity. Players are grouped by age and skill level. The effective date for age group participation is September 1. Here are dates for Summer 2010 Youth Sports Ministry leagues and camps. Free open gym nights will also be offered from mid-March through mid-May.
