So Friday night Urban Eagles had its first Under 12 tournament of the season. 49 kids 12 and under from all three neighborhoods came out to Elon Park for a night of fun, family, food, and of course, soccer and the Gospel. The Under 18 team from my neighborhood had the opportunity to be the coaches. Each U12 team had at least two U18 coaches plus and adult. The night was wonderful. Our kids did such a good time leading and encouraging the younger kids. At practice on thursday we went over what it meant to be a coach and sort of what Friday was going to look like. I read from Galatians 6 and encouraged the kids that they have the opportunity to sow seeds into the younger kids. I truly believed they did just this on Friday. Between being excited and engaged coaches to sharing the gospel, our kids created a really cool environment for the younger kids. I believe having quality older kids to look up to will do incredible things for the lives of the U12s.
At the end of our night our team put on a skit to help start to explain the gospel. I was so proud of them. They nailed it!
