Paladin announces 2026 program dates, expanding to Florida

Paladin Sports Outreach adds first East Coast location in Summerfield, FL, alongside continued growth in Arizona and Minnesota.

Paladin Sports Mascot BadgePaladin Sports Outreach is proud to announce its 2026 recreational sports program dates, marking another year of exciting growth and expansion. Building on a season of record participation in 2025, Paladin will launch its first East Coast program in Summerfield, Florida, extending its mission to reach and connect more families through Christ-centered youth sports.

Following successful expansions across Arizona and Minnesota over the past two years, Paladin’s newest programs will bring the same community-based, faith-driven sports experience to the Summerfield area—introducing children and families to the values of Faith, Family, Fun, and Fight through recreational sports.

“We’re thrilled to bring Paladin to Florida in 2026,” said Blake Wilsford, Director of Programs & Operations. “Each new community we serve opens doors for more kids to experience sports in a positive, encouraging environment. Our heart is to impact families—not just athletes—and we’re grateful to see that mission growing beyond Arizona.”

In addition to the Florida launch, Paladin will continue offering programs in its existing communities across Arizona and Minnesota, including San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, East Mesa, Maricopa, Casa Grande and Anoka (MN). Sports offerings will include t-ball, basketball, soccer, flag football, floor hockey, and girls volleyball, with seasonal sessions running throughout the year.

Registration for Winter 1 2026 is now open, with programs beginning in January. Families can explore all program locations, dates, and offerings here:
