Across the country, places of worship are not only spots for spiritual growth but sites to foster deeper connections within their communities.
One product of this engagement is the development of sports programs aimed at youth and young adults.
These programs offer more than just recreational opportunities. They provide space for faith, unity and development.
“Church sports programs are more than just games,” said Ward leader Kevin Craig, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “They’re about building relationships, teaching faith through teamwork and connecting families.”
In Phoenix, many churches, temples and synagogues have embraced the power of sports to strengthen community ties. For many, sports programs are a way to engage a younger audience, offer mentorship and create long-lasting bonds.
The programs are designed with more than just competition in mind. They’re mainly about nurturing essential values like discipline, teamwork and leadership all while integrating faith into the experience.
“The focus of the ministry is more to minister to the athletes and teach them that God gave these athletes the ability they have in their sports, and to please him, we just need to be who he made us to be,” said Wendy Kerychuck, co-founder of the Phoenix-based nonprofit Athletes International Ministry.
“I like to say we just have to bloom. I love my flower gardens. I plant roses, daisies and geraniums, and all they have to do to make me happy is bloom, be a rose, be a geranium. That’s what we tell these athletes.”
Sports engagement is part of many different religions The Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center, for example, said its goals include enriching “physical, mental and spiritual growth.”
Instilling Values
These programs not only teach athletic skills but also instill religious values, making them a powerful tool for spiritual development. Whether it’s helping a teammate, working hard for a goal, or showing perseverance after a loss, the lessons from spiritually based athletics extend beyond the court.
A priority is helping the ability to engage youth. Kids are not inclined to sit and listen to someone preach for an extended period of time. By combining athletics with religious principles, these programs provide a space for young people to grow both physically and spiritually.
However, some warn that religious sports programs can be overly insulated.
“Adding sports to the mix often enhances the insularity of the religious communities,” said Terry Shoemaker, a religious studies expert and professor at Arizona State University who has studied the intersection of sports and religion. “So if we think about recreational sports as a way to not only develop young people’s honesty, disciple, ability to play by the rules, ability to accept victory in a gracious way but also the ability to accept loss in a gracious way, but also to meet kids who aren’t like them, like kids of different colors or races or ethnicities, or genders, disabilities, you’re now reducing that if all your sports take place at your church.
“If the church is providing you not only your Sunday morning gathering, but it’s providing you a means to watch a movie with other kids, you’re not going to the movie theater as much. It’s now providing your sports outlet. Now, you’re no longer playing in those leagues that were so important to youth development. It’s now all contained within your religious community. And while there may be positives to that, I don’t want to disregard that, but for a broader society, I think there’s a lot of negatives to that.”
Religious sports programs have a profound impact not only on youth but also on young adults. They provide a chance to bond over something fun and meaningful.
Samantha Gulledge, a young adult member of the Mormon Towne Lake YSA Ward in Tempe, said her experiences have helped her meet friends and strengthen bonds.
“I’m an athletic person, so I have always enjoyed sports,” she said. “I feel like sports programs are a very casual way to make friends. But also, you know, it’s kind of like in church: You’re all striving for the same goals, and so you just have that camaraderie pretty quickly.
“It affects faith in that way that even when I was a kid, and there were sports, to be perfectly honest, you didn’t always want to go to church because you know, … ‘church is boring, there are more fun things to do.’ But having sports and making friends while doing so, it definitely made it more of an incentive to go, because you’re making friends who you then get to see at church.”
Community take priority
These programs enable individuals to spend quality time with others who share their faith, reminding them of the importance of community both within and outside the spiritual walls.
Religious sports programs are also useful as a tool for outreach, welcoming people who might not yet be part of the congregation. These programs serve as a non-threatening way to introduce new people and families to a faith environment, offering them a space to belong before they even enter a church, temple or synagogue.
“It’s a great way to introduce people to the church, too,” Craig said. “I mean, you always want to form a relationship with somebody. And it’s sometimes easier to form a relationship with somebody on a sporting field than it is sitting next to them in a pew, where it’s a spiritual atmosphere.
“We really encourage the young men and young women to invite friends out from school and let them have some exposure to the rest of the members and such.”
By engaging in sports, families have the opportunity to experience a religious community in a casual and approachable setting, often leading to a deeper connection with the faith itself.
And these outreach knows no borders.
“We serve in eight different countries across the globe, one of which is in Kenya, where we have a kind of an outpost of ministry site in a large slum called Kibera,” said Charlie Dunn, chief development officer for the Virginia-based Sports Outreach Institute. “If you read the statistics, it’s always numbers one through three on the list of the worst places to live on the planet.
“We are partnered with a school that is not a part of our organization. It’s another faith-based school that brings children in and provides them with a solid education, including feeding programs, all within the midst of the slum. But our partnership is that we offer them sports so that they can become accredited in their physical education curriculum, and they allow us to connect our children to their schooling and instruction.”
These outreach efforts across the U.S. and the world make sports programs accessible to many, creating an environment where every child who wants to participate in sports has the opportunity to thrive, build confidence and foster personal growth.
The long-term impact of religious sports programs extends beyond the field. These programs often teach young people life lessons that carry over into adulthood, including leadership, self-discipline and the ability to work effectively with others.
“We’re able to create teams from places like Adobe Mountain Correctional Facility (in north Phoenix) and bring them out to play in the league,” Wendy said. “This gives families the opportunity to see their child outside the gates.
“A lot of times, those kids are on championship teams. They win championships, and they sort of became heroes in their families. You know, you have a family that just doesn’t know how to win, and their kid becomes a winner, and they’re exposed to the gospel, and that just means something to them.”
Religious sports programs have proven to be invaluable tools in fostering stronger, more cohesive communities. They build youth leaders, help strengthen communities for young adults and offer spiritual growth through the power of sport.
“When people make the decision that they’re going to live their life for God the best they can, they’re so grateful the fruit of that is incomparable,” said Larry Kerychuck, co-founder of Athletes International Ministry.

The NBA and UK government each contribute £5 million toward recreational basketball expansion in England
Investment targets women, girls, people with disabilities and ethnic minorities through new courts and programs
NBA fandom among UK adults has grown 24% over the past three years
Six NBA regular season games planned for Europe over three seasons, starting January 2025
Potential pan-European NBA league could launch in 2027 or 2028
Strategic Partnership Takes Shape
The National Basketball Association and UK government announced a joint £10 million ($13.7 million) investment to expand recreational basketball opportunities across England. The partnership, revealed Wednesday, splits funding equally between both parties and focuses specifically on building courts and creating more playing opportunities for underrepresented groups.
The collaboration follows a July meeting between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver at Downing Street, where both leaders “agreed to work together on the growth of basketball in the U.K. and potential future investment opportunities around NBA Europe.”
Targeting Underserved Communities
The investment specifically prioritizes access for women, girls, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities. NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum emphasized the initiative’s community focus, stating the partnership aims to “provide safe spaces for people of all backgrounds and abilities to learn and play the game.”
Basketball ranks as the second-most popular team sport among young people in England, according to government data. The sport’s growing appeal extends beyond youth participation, with NBA fandom among UK adults increasing 24% over the past three years.
European Expansion Plans
The announcement comes as the NBA accelerates its European presence. Commissioner Silver indicated Tuesday that a joint NBA-FIBA European league could begin play in 2027 or 2028. The league would operate separately from existing domestic competitions while bringing NBA-affiliated professional basketball to European markets.
Supporting this expansion, the NBA will play at least six regular season games across Europe over the next three seasons. The schedule begins with Memphis Grizzlies versus Orlando Magic matchups in Berlin on January 15 and London on January 18. Manchester will host an NBA game during the 2026-27 season.
Looking Ahead
This partnership represents a significant commitment to grassroots basketball development within the NBA’s broader European strategy. The investment addresses participation gaps while building fan engagement ahead of potential professional league expansion.
The government and NBA have committed to exploring additional games beyond the initial six-game European slate, suggesting this partnership extends well beyond the current three-year timeline.

The Northwest Colorado Sportsman’s Banquet returns Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Boys & Girls Club of Craig, as it carries forward a two-decade tradition of supporting local youth who are interested in outdoor pursuits by putting decision-making and funding in local hands.
The event begins with a social hour at 5 p.m. with dinner starting at 6:30 p.m.
Dinner this year features catering by Oasis Bar & Grill operators Nick and Karen Maneotis.
What began roughly 20 years ago as the Craig chapter of Friends of National Rifle Association has evolved into a homegrown effort in the form of Heritage Fundraising, which is a 501(c)(3) that was created to keep proceeds and decision-making within the community. The group’s leadership noted that despite the shift away from the NRA, the mission to fund youth programs, and outdoor education while strengthening the ties that bind Moffat County, remains the same.

“This has been a great learning experience to rebuild at a grassroots level,” said JB Chapman of Chapman’s Automotive, who now chairs the banquet committee. “Once folks heard what it was and where we are today, they didn’t care about the label. They were here for the right reasons, which were to support our youth and their pursuits in the outdoors.”
For years, the local banquet operated under a national package of auction items, insurance and purchasing rules. That structure changed as national policies shifted how funds were pooled and dispersed, said longtime organizer and shooting sports coach Wade Gerber.
Gerber entered the fundraising effort after working to secure annual grants for 4-H shotgun, an event where costs for ammo and equipment can be a barrier for some. He served on the committee alongside other instrumental members like Virginia Pugh. When Gerber recently decided to step back as he launched a distillery, Chapman made the decision to step in.
“The nice part now is that instead of spending all that money with a national package, we can go to local vendors for prizes and supplies,” Gerber said. “It keeps more of the money in circulation here in town. Overall, it’s a much better fit for Craig and the kids.”
The local turn also broadens where and how funds can be applied.
Chapman said organizers are exploring ways to support firearms safety and hunter education in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club, opening doors for youth who might not otherwise have access.
“We’ll have guidelines on where funds go, but the goal of creating a local legacy is the same,” he said. “We’re passing on to the next generation and doing it with local decision-making for local benefit.”
Attendance has ebbed and flowed over time. Gerber recalled a high near 270 seated diners, though recent years have seen numbers around 180. Despite the shifts, the organization’s fundraising formula and common purpose remain similar to the original event.
Organizers expect 30 to 35 live auction items, about half of which are firearms, alongside locally donated goods in both the live and silent auctions. A crowd-favorite is the “bucket” drawings, which are 40-plus packages of hats, tow straps, gift cards, tickets and fun experiences. At the door, a “$100 table” offers 12 tickets for a 1-in-12 drawing on a featured firearm. The “Guns N’ Roses” game pairs a rose purchase with a ticket, which both Gerber and Chapman said is a nod to date night as much as fundraising. The gun safe giveaway returns this year as well, which often comes with a “surprise” inside.
“It’s a Yampa Valley event,” Chapman said. “We’ve got card games, fun packages, a lively auction and a lot of community pride in one room.”
Behind the scenes, the pivot from a national package to a locally built auction increased the workload while also increasing the sense of local control.
“It took a lot of communication and more boots on the ground,” Chapman said. “The encouraging thing is young people in their 30s are already asking to serve next year. They love what this has done for the community and want to carry the torch.”
Within the shift, Gerber sees the payoff in the faces of young shooters. He has coached shotgun for 18 years and estimates he worked with about 75 kids. For him, it’s not just about smiles and the sense of accomplishment, it’s about an outcome that involves fostering stewardship, responsibility and leadership.
He added that Moffat and Routt counties continue to send strong contingents to shooting competitions.
“I’d guess somewhere around 20 kids from Moffat County have gone to national finals across the shooting sports,” he said. “It’s something to be proud of.”
Organizers say the same qualities that help kids succeed in the field including responsibility, consistency and peer connection, translates into success in the classroom and community as well.
“These programs are tools to develop well-rounded, productive citizens,” Chapman said. “Peer-to-peer interaction matters. When you give kids responsibility, whether that’s safe firearms handling or showing up for practice, you’re training tomorrow’s leaders.”
The night itself is deliberately family-friendly, with youth games and drawings running alongside the local 4-H club handling bussing tables and cleanup as part of its annual service project.
“They take ownership,” Gerber said. “The first year they asked what to do and now they’re spot on and have it all figured out.”
Local businesses remain key from donated items to in-kind support. Murdoch’s of Craig, for example, helps make the annual gun safe giveaway possible and distributors such as Wild Wings work with the committee on auction firearms that fit a community fundraiser.
For Chapman, the deeper meaning behind the event is linked to place.
“Whenever we make Moffat County decisions for Moffat County, Moffat County wins,” he said. “The Yampa Valley has become a great place to work together and we’re grateful we get to pass on who we are to our children and grandchildren.”
A cash bar will be available. Individual tickets and sponsored tables are on sale and organizers say seats are moving quickly. Payment by cash, check or credit card is accepted.

Joan Margaret Johnson Cichos (“Peach”), our beloved mother, mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in Rexburg, Idaho, on September 23, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was a member of the Catholic Church.
Peach was born on May 17, 1946, to Les and Leonna Johnson in Jamestown, North Dakota. She married her high school sweetheart, Donald Richard Cichos, on July 2, 1966. Don passed away on April 29, 1998, leaving Peach to live alone for over 27 years. Our family is grateful that Joan and Don will be together again.
Joan and Don married at a young age and left Jamestown, North Dakota, heading to Seattle with all of their belongings (and no money) in their car. They lived in Seattle, Denver, and Salt Lake before arriving in Rexburg in 1985 to purchase the local McDonald’s. Joan would always work to help support her family, and though Don was often the face of the family business, Joan was always in the background, providing invaluable skills and support. She would often share with all of the employees that “she was the one who signed the checks.”
Peach loved her family. She dedicated her life to caring for, loving, and supporting her family. She always provided her unconditional love and support –never hesitating to share her honest opinion (even to those who didn’t ask). Peach would always, always, put her family before herself. Community was always important to Peach and her family. She was involved in youth sports, local nonprofit organizations, various charitable causes, and working with the City of Rexburg to develop the Donjo sports complex.
Peach loved sports. She would make an instant connection with anyone who talked sports, especially the University of Utah. She loved to play golf, watch college football and basketball, and generally follow all sports on television.
She was the youngest of four girls and survived by her children, Todd (wife, Carla) Cichos, of Corona, CA; Troy (wife, Stacie) Cichos, of Bellevue, WA; Trent (wife, Karie), of Rexburg, ID; Tyson (wife, Rebecca) Cichos, of Salt Lake City, UT; sisters Carol Karstens and Leslie Flyr; twelve grandchildren (Tara Casperson, Tyler Cichos, Toni Ann Latu, Shelby Cichos, Taylor Rammell, Parker Cichos, Hallie Backstein, Ashton Cichos, Samantha Cichos, Aurora Cichos, Paxton Cichos and AJ Cichos and eleven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, sister (Linda Hansted), and parents.
The family would also like to thank the residents and staff at the Homestead for the love and care they provided Peach since 2019.
A public viewing will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2025 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Flamm Funeral Home, 61 North 1st East in Rexburg. A private family cemetery service will be held in Rexburg on Monday, September 29, 2025.
Because of Peach’s commitment to supporting the local community, in lieu of flowers we ask that you consider a donation to your favorite charity in her name or to the Ronald McDonald Family Room in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Service will be broadcast at: https://my.gather.app/remember/joan-cichos

UPDATE (4 p.m.): News 5 spoke with Escambia County officials about the new Southern Youth Sports Association center.
Escambia County Commissioner Lumon May said many children in his district are without transportation. He hopes children and their families will take advantage of a center that’s walkable.
“It’s not a place for kids just to come and play,” May said. “It’s a place for kids to come and eat, come and take a shower, a place where kids can come and get their homework done, sometimes just a place for kids to come and talk.”

Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves praised the patience of community members and donors who supported the project over the past three years.
“Not only do we have these generous folks bringing these dollars forward,” Reeves said, “but also this is only going to expand our footprint to be able to have a positive impact on the children of this community.”
The center’s name comes from Troy Rafferty, longtime supporter and friend of Commissioner May, who donated $1 million ultimately pushing the project forward.

Rafferty credited his and his wife’s $1 million donation towards their love for SYSA’s core missions when it comes to bettering the next generation.
“I always say, ‘The money is the easy part,’” Rafferty said. “It’s the sweat equity, it’s the love, it’s the time that you’ve spent with these kids that really matters.”
PREVIOUS REPORTING
PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — The Southern Youth Sports Association in Pensacola broke ground on a new center today, according to a news release.

The SYSA is a local grass-roots nonprofit organization that works to meet the academic, social and physical needs of students through the appropriate involvement of the community, students, and staff, according to the release.

The Rafferty Center, which will be located next to the Theophalis May Community Center at 1301 West Gregory Street, will include a new gym and resource center and will add “much-needed” additional space for the organization.
According to the release, the new center will meet the growing demand for athletics, tutoring, mentoring and other programs for youth that the SYSA provides.
Among the programs SYSA offers are basketball, cheerleading, baseball, football, tutoring, after-school and GED.
“We are committed to developing the full potential of each child,” the news release said. “Our programs and activities focus on the development of responsibility, cooperation, and acceptance by emphasizing the 4 B’s – Bible, Books, Ball & Balance.”
Danny Grundhoefer of Quina Grundhoefer Architects, who designed the center, said the facility will have about 10,000 square feet of space and will include a full-sized basketball court with room for up to 800 people for games and community events, two meeting rooms, office space and a concession stand.
Escambia County District 3 Commissioner Lumon May founded the SYSA more than 30 years ago and thanked those who have supported the organization and made the new center a reality.
“It’s hard to imagine that only a few short decades ago, SYSA was just a dream to help kids who needed a safe place to gather, get engaged in youth sports, and stay off the streets,” May said. “Now, we serve almost 1,600 kids each year, and thanks to the generosity of this community, we can look forward to helping thousands more children in the decades to come.”
The project is possible because of a $1 million donation by Troy and Ashley Rafferty, as well as donations made by former NFL player Doug Baldwin, Fred Levin and Mike Papantonio.
“Over the years, Ashley and I have supported SYSA through various sports programs like the Soul Bowl and Living the Dream,” Rafferty said. “However, it was really when Lumon and Shirley (Cronley) shared with us the entire range of services provided to local kids in need that we really felt the calling to get more involved.”

The entire cost for the center is expected to be around $2.5 million, including design and build.

If you are a Steelers fan who likes to keep up with the team, most likely you knew who Dale Lolley was.
A former longtime sports writer for the Observer-Reporter, he transitioned to several other media outlets as a Pittsburgh Steelers reporter while still contributing a weekly column to the O-R.
Lolley died Wednesday of cancer at the age of 56.
Lolley worked for DK Sports, Steelers.com and was co-host of the Steelers broadcast “The Drive,” and often took part in the “Final Word.”
He was a friend for years and actually a huge youth baseball fan.
My sons both were part of Washington Youth Baseball leagues at Washington Park, which Dale was highly involved in. His sons were older than mine and played there as well.
Dale volunteered countless hours to the league for many years.
It is there at Washington Park that I had many long conversations with Dale on a myriad of sports subjects, mostly on the Steelers and youth baseball.
He would bounce ideas off me on occasion on how to improve the league, how to make the experience for the players better, and oftentimes they made perfect sense to the point where I thought why aren’t they doing that already?
And, yes, we’d talk about the Steelers a lot.
As a sports writer I would develop my own opinions watching the Steelers each year and can remember numerous times where he proved to me why he was so good at what he did.
I would make Steelers offseason comments such as I think the problem was this on defense, clearly, or this player needs to go or they have to sign that guy or what Mike Tomlin did that one game made no sense.
Once in a while Dale would agree with me but most often he would smile, shake his head and point out how wrong I was and offer his own explanation, sometimes from inside information he had.
Basically, he displayed to me how much more he knew and could correctly interpret about the Steelers than I ever could.
I gained a great deal of respect for him from those discussions.
Many times he’d see me and talk with me while one or both of my sons were playing in a baseball game and he even would give me a pointer here and there that might improve their performance while watching them bat or field. He was always kind to them and offered encouragement when he saw them with me.
The funniest memory I have from those days, one that I’ll never forget, happened while I was watching my son Westley playing as my elder son Colton stood next to me.
Dale saw me, walked over and asked if my other son was playing and I said yeah, they’re out in the field now. Then we started on another sports talk.
While watching the game a batter stroked a line drive into right-center field. The center fielder sprinted over and made a diving catch for the out.
Dale said, “Wow, that was a nice catch by that kid.” I concurred, “Yeah, what a play, saved a couple runs.” My son Colton was pulling on my shirt, evidently realizing what I hadn’t figured out yet. Then Dale asked, “So what position is your kid playing?” I pondered for a second and said, “He’s in center fi- … oh wow that was Westley! Great play Westley!”
We both broke out laughing.
Once my sons aged out of the league, I didn’t see Dale as much but when I did he’d always offer a smile and ask how my boys were doing.
In later years Dale had a positive impact as a member of the Founders League for the Pony League World Series, helping transform the Washington-based team into a much more competitive entry.
I was very saddened to hear of his death on Wednesday. Too young to be gone.
I know I was proud to call Dale Lolley my friend.
