Transform the competitive sports field into a discipleship opportunity as you help your young athlete become not just a better player but a devoted follower of God.

If we dont own the process of discipling our kids as they play sports, sports culture will do it for us. But as parents, we can get so consumed with our young athletes physical development that we miss the opportunities athletics provide to help them grow spiritually.Away Gamechallenges us to be more than spectators on the sidelines of our kids spiritual lives. Discover how to:

• Leverage sports as a platform for instilling biblical values in kids and teens.
• Keep joy, play, and gratitude at every level of your childs athletic experience.

• Spark faith-based discussions about sport-culture challenges such as handling pressure, dealing with failure, and being a next-level teammate.
