Reason #25 - Sports Programs

Ok...sports programs are really not on my top 10 list, but I think it is important to even teach gospel principles through an athletic program. Typically we learn much, such as how to work as a team (family, church, community etc), we learn athletic skills and learn how to be good sportsmen and women. It is also a part of keeping our bodies healthy and strong. Although in my area we mostly play and compete in Basketball, in other areas church members may play volleyball or soccer or cricket, depending upon where you live. It also helps some youth know that there are fun things to do in the church and that it is not all about preaching, but also about getting together to have fun!
