Qualified staff will lead these clinics for players and coaches many times involving former professional or current day players with college players and coaches. T.E.A.M. Sports Programs A variety of sports are offered at our four day programs. The day begins with a rigorous exercise program before breaking into smaller groups to teach the skills of the particular sport through drills and team play. Many times former professional athletes, college players and college coaches are involved. Sports Leagues TSA will offer youth leagues for children ages 7 through 14 years old throughout the year. T.E.A.M. Sports Academy (Vacation Bible School) This curriculum was created in conjunction with sports to encourage and build self-esteem as well as minister to the spirits of young children. We believe that children are important and that our responsibility is to teach and train children. The curriculum developed by Alan Marsh of Word Alive Church, has many sports examples brought together with spiritual applications. The children will learn how to gain victory according to the Word as each day a different letter of T.E.A.M. is discussed leading into a new adventure in the Word. We hope that you will be excited by the vision we have to see every child develop their full potential, both physically and spiritually.
