Commissioners
As we gear up for the next year of SMG sports, we're looking for league commissioners to help lead our growing sports ministry.
Whether you've helped before or are new and eager to get involved, we welcome your time, energy, and leadership. Commissioners help with team coordination and league organization, critical roles that keep things running smoothly.
If you're interested in coaching or serving as a commissioner, please contact s.bird@smgonline.org for more information.
Coach's Corner
Spiritual Playbook
The goal of SMG coaches is to not only teach the nature of the game being played, but to instill a greater love and relationship with Christ for our kids.
The SMG Sports Ministry will highlight a new devotional each newsletter for our coaches to use before, during, & after practices. These team devotionals are there to act as a guide for the team to learn and grow from much like a playbook does. Below you can find more devotionals to use as you progress through the season. Please use these along with a prayer at your practices and games.
