Committed to Making a Difference

Gospel Projects YAC, (Youth Athletic Club), is an athletic program for boys and girls, ages 4 through 14, offering tee ball, softball, baseball, summer camp, and soccer. Participation is the key word in all of our programs. Rather than over-emphasizing winning, the pursuit of excellence is our aim. For the younger athletes, an opportunity to participate without too much pressure is important. We want every child to enjoy the different sports YAC has to offer.

​

Our Purpose

​

Our primary goal is to develop Christian character through the opportunities that sports activities provide.  Some of the things we feel are important and that can be developed through a properly managed sports program are:

• Obedience to properly constituted authority. Learning to listen, and giving your best effort is far more important than the final score.

• Working together with others in a team effort, rather than being an individual star, is important throughout  life.

• Learning not to quit when you mess up, but getting up and trying again.

• Learning to play wherever the coach directs, rather than where you wish to play.

• Being faithful to practices and games, following through on commitments.

• Communicating properly when issues arise.

​

Our Philosophy

​

The focus of Gospel Project's program is participation, not winning.  Although we believe competition is healthy for this age group, and excellence, the pre-requisite for winning, is to be strived for, having fun and enjoying the game is what our program is all about.  Undue pressure from adults can spoil the game for the children. We suggest that those parents and/or coaches who are overly concerned about making a star athlete out of their child and that are primarily concerned about winning find another program for their child.
