Paladin Sports Outreach Announces Fall Sports Registration and Expansion to Three New Arizona Communities

Paladin Sports Outreach is excited to announce that registration is now open for all Fall Sports programs across Arizona and Minnesota! Families can sign up for both Fall 1 and Fall 2 seasons in cities and neighborhoods statewide, with offerings designed to build character, confidence, faith, and community through youth sports.

Paladin’s Fall Sports lineup includes recreational soccer, flag football, t-ball, baseball, girls softball, basketball, and girls volleyball—all led by dedicated volunteer coaches passionate about nurturing character, faith, and a love of the game.

As Paladin continues to grow, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of three new Arizona communities this fall:

  • Goodyear, AZ, led by Jason Hendrix, a longtime public servant and community advocate with a passion for sports-based mentorship.
  • South Tucson, AZ, led by Peter Gonzales, an educator and devoted father known for his heart for underserved families.
  • North Phoenix, AZ, led by Ron Wells, an administrator and former athlete bringing strong leadership and local connections.

These new Area Directors join Paladin’s mission to provide families with positive, affordable sports experiences rooted in faith, fun, and community. Each leader will guide grassroots programs tailored to the unique needs of their neighborhoods, supported by the broader Paladin network.

“We continue to see incredible momentum and demand in both Arizona and Minnesota,” said Blake Wilsford, Director of Programs & Operations. “Our model is simple and scalable—local leaders building local programs with national support. We’re humbled and excited to welcome Goodyear, South Tucson, and North Phoenix into the Paladin family.”

If you’re interested in joining our expansion as a grassroots sports ministry leader in your community, we’d love to hear from you. Paladin offers a unique opportunity to impact youth and families through sport and faith at the local level.
