of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things
that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.”

Sports create opportunity for children to learn how to work together, build upon their skills, and look forward to something positive; not to mention the physical benefits of remaining physically active.
