Overview

Mission

Christian youth athletics provides youth ages 4 to 13 with the opportunity to play competitive baseball, soccer and basketball in a positive, christ-centered environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Christian youth athletics has provided competitive team sports to children ages 4-13 in a positive, instructional atmosphere since 1978. The league was founded by bart pierce, a local area pastor, to create an instructional and competitive league where churches and community members could come together and inspire another generation to have christ-like character, develop their athletic ability, and build positive relationships with teammates. This is a league where parents will not have to worry about their child being put down and discouraged or parents fighting with referees or coaches. This is our league's 44th year of offering youth sports leagues for baseball, basketball, and soccer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
