GO Sports develops international partnerships that result in mutual transformation. We empower local coaches to disciple athletes who influence their community as leaders of the next generation.
Who We Are:
GO Sports equips coaches and teachers with resources to disciple their players and students. We offer baseball, girls’ and boys’ basketball, and girls’ and boys’ soccer academies as platforms for coaches to impact the lives of potential leaders with the truth of God’s Word. We also offer English and Bible classes to our players and will be adding more vocational training in the future, encouraging kids to explore the possibilities of life outside of sports. Our hope is that the relationships built between coach and player, student and teacher, team member and local leader would lead to mutual transformation. We believe that God uses these relationships to redeem people, renew communities, and restore creation.
What We Do:
Think of the GO Sports Academies as a cross between your park-district sports leagues and travel club teams. In a country that does not have organized school sports, we offer practices to the neighborhood kid who simply wants something fun to do, as well as the competitive athletes who has the potential to play in college or professionally. Both types of kids are welcomed in our academy. That is not the norm here in the DR! Our desire to include every kid is one of the main things that sets us apart. At the end of the day, our goal is not just to create great athletes, it is also to develop men and women into leaders and workers in the Kingdom of God.
