Surviving the Youth Sports Industrial Complex
What: We all want what’s best for our young athletes. But what does that mean for each of us? Beyond that, how can we live out our faith within the context of youth sports? This event will clarify your role as parents, equip you with tools to help your kids navigate their athletic experience, answer commonly asked questions, and connect you with others who are on the same journey.
When: November 11, 6pm-9pm
Where: Pine Tree Church of Christ, 3221 Dundee Road
*This is a free event
