SPORTS MINISTRY
In a busy world, our community is often spread thin by tight schedules and demanding leagues that turn out to be highly competitive. Our Sports Ministry seeks to reach the community for Jesus Christ through sports and build relationships with our participating families. Throughout the year, we offer many opportunities – some recreational and some competitive – to meet the relational needs of our community. Come and join us!
UPWARD SPORTS
For the past 25 years, we have teamed up with Upward Sports to provide opportunities in several different sports.

On alternating Sunday nights, we have volleyball for high school and adults. We have a recreation division from 6:30-7:45pm and competitive (invite/tryout only) from 7:45pm to 9:00pm. To sign up for the Remind notifications, text “@sundayvb” to the number 81010.
WEEKDAY PICKLEBALL
Pickleball has taken off, and our weekday sessions have grown from 1 day per week to 4 days! We have pickleball Mondays through Thursdays from 9am to 12pm. It’s an awesome time to come have fun and meet other adults. Tournaments will be scheduled throughout the year.
DISC GOLF MEETUPS
Do you enjoy nature and throwing some discs around? Put your cell phone down and join us for Disc Golf at some of the local disc golf courses. If you don’t have discs or sold them after college, come any way! We have plenty to share with you.
BOWLING
In the Fall and Spring, we hold our Woodridge Baptist Church bowling league at MaxBowl in Humble. It is an awesome time of fun… and everyone is in shape enough to bowl!
FANTASY FOOTBALL
Yes, fantasy football with your friends and a short Bible study each week. It is a ton of fun talking up your favorite players and then talking about the Lord.
BASKETBALL
Throughout the year, work off your Sunday lunch with adult basketball on Sunday afternoons. Due to church events, the schedule often fluctuates, so you can text _____ to the number 81010 to keep up to date. Some weeks we also offer preteen basketball to keep our kids running the floor.
SPECIAL NEEDS BASKETBALL
Starting this fall, we will have basketball games for members of our special needs community! It is a great time to encourage and cheer for those that rarely get to play sports. We are starting with a few games this year in hopes to grow it into a league in the future.
