2013 Sports DTS Features

Morning workouts and gym memberships: This year’s Sports DTS will have gym memberships at a brand new fitness center that opened down the road, called ‘Genesis Fitness Club.’ This gym offers quality equipment as well as team building classes. This will aid in keeping our bodies in shape and ready for everything that gets thrown at us!

Sports Evangelism Our base in Newcastle loves evangelism. We believe it’s very important for everyone to know how to share their faith and the Sports DTS gives opportunity to do so through sports. Once a week we will be playing soccer in the community with locals. On outreach, every team will be using various sports to connect with the different people groups. This will open the door to build relationship and share the gospel.

Soccer tournament The Sports DTS will be running and hosting a soccer tournament for athletes all over the Newcastle region! What an awesome way to reach high numbers of people that we couldn’t in any other way.

Casual Sports Our base is only ten minutes from gorgeous beaches which means it’s a perfect places for beach runs, swims, volleyball and soccer! There are also several parks and fields which will provide lots of opportunities to play sport as a school and meet new people.
