Welcome to 2023, welcome to our new club families and most of all, welcome to our all new monthly Club Sports Newsletter! Our goal is to not only highlight the amazing things that are club teams and players are accomplishing, but also keep our club families in the loop on all things Paladin!
“God is definitely moving within the Paladin organization. I’m looking forward to seeing kids grow in their faith, learn new skills and compete on the baseball field, and see families meet lifelong friends. Baseball is an amazing sport that can teach kids skills not only on the field but in life and when you keep God first, the sky is the limit.”

Perspective is an incredible thing – especially from an 11-year-old. As a new member to the Paladin baseball family JD took a knee and heard his teammates begin to pray sharing their hearts about the Lord and their exciting day at the field. A few days later it was JD’s turn to pray, and he led with some incredible wisdom. ‘Thank you, Lord, that we even get to play baseball on fields like this. There are so many kids around the world that would never have a chance to do this and thank you for letting us have the chance to do this”, AMEN JD! Thank you, Lord, for the incredible opportunity to play and may the love of the game and your light Lord reach the all corners of the Earth.
The team took 2nd in their tournament which is a huge win for this team.

We’d like to highlight the entire team for their resilience! We are starting to see the fruits of their labor and they have been much more competitive in their game play!
We’d like to highlight Ledger, the newest member of the Paladin 11u team! He has been a HUGE addition to the team and brings the shooting we need to take us to the next level!
We’d like to highlight Brayden Lawrence! He is someone who has had to step up and step in to the role of Point Guard and has not once complained! We are excited to see his growth in this new role!
We’d like to highlight David for his continued willingness to play out of what would be considered his normal position! He has embraced what the coaches have asked of him and now we can’t afford to take him off the floor! Thank David for your selflessness and sacrifice to the team!
“Paladin Softball Club is excited to see what’s in store for 2023. Our 12U girls are not only doing amazing things on the field but most importantly their growth in Jesus is evident to everyone the girls come in contact with. Umpires, tournament directors, other coaches and athletes always have very positive things to say about Paladin Softball Club.”
