Soccer at Central
Mission
Through participating in the soccer program, it is our hope that each athlete involved has an experience that encourages and challenges them to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ while striving to achieve excellence on and off the field. In addition, we hope students use this opportunity to discover, develop, and learn how to use their God-given gifts for His glory. Students will be encouraged to use teamwork, competition, and dedication to grow together as a group and grow in skills that will help them later on in life. Ultimately, it is our hope that students leave our program feeling more prepared for their next steps in life wherever God will have each one serve Him next.
