REGISTRATION OPENS LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL
Grace & Cleats has a 3rd/4th and 5th/6th boys basketball team playing in the Indiana Youth Basketball League (IYBL). In today’s youth sports, there is a lot of emphasis placed on kids to win. The scoreboard can become more important than teaching basic fundamentals in an elementary-age sport.
Our goal is to teach foundational fundamentals that will carry over into more than just basketball. Each practice has time spent on ball handling, defensive footwork, rebounding, spacing and using the backboard. Along with skills there are a few basic principles taught as a part of the program.
Effort: We are all fallen men and can never be perfect. Only Jesus was perfect. However, we can give perfect effort every time (100%).
Fear of Failure: When we have Christ there is nothing to fear. 1 John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
Fatigue and Frustration: These can rob us of success. You must be disciplined to fall back on the fundamentals and basics when tired or frustrated. You cannot do it on your own. You need to lean on the Lord.
EACH YEAR REGISTRATION OPEN EARLY MARCH
The purpose of our participation in this league is that we would grow together in our knowledge of and faith in Christ and continue to understand as men what it means to live and compete for the glory of God. Basic information for the league is as follows:
Dates: May through July
Days: One evening per week (depending which division your team is in)
Times: 6:30 p.m. & 7:45 p.m.
Format: 14 Regular Season Games (7 weeks of double-headers) Double Elimination Tournament

RevFit Classes are held for one hour each Monday at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday at 5:45 p.m. RevFit uses fitness to share the good news of the Gospel. It is about more than fitness. You will sweat, but you will also receive encouragement, love, and acceptance. As a Revelation Wellness instructor my heart is to share the freedom that can be found in moving your body in worship. All are welcome regardless of gender, weight, athletic ability, or age. Love has no boundaries. The classes are a mixture of cardio, strength, flexibility and stretching. Each class includes an encouraging cool down and an uplifting message.
