CROSSOVER Basketball completed its 35th season, serving our local community with recreational-level competition while teaching Biblical character including good sportsmanship. The season concluded on Saturday, January 20 with a season-end celebration with a free pizza dinner for the crowd of over 300 people; players, families and friends at Redwood Christian School's gymnasium in San Lorenzo. About 180 players (coed grades 2-8) and about 30 volunteer coaches/support team members dedicated their time and effort in this three-month (8 games) season which started in November.
Weekly practices included not only basketball drills but also a challenge to memorize Bible verses. 40 players successfully memorized all their verses from Psalm 139 and were awarded prizes. Tony Banks, retired Oakland Police Officer and Warriors security shared his life story and how his walk with God influenced his work in law enforcement and with the Warriors organization. He was followed by free throw competitions (Knockout) and the annual Coaches vs. Players game.
CROSSOVER SPORTS is a multi-sports program in partnership Redwood Christian Schools, Castro Valley First Baptist Church, 3Crosses Church, and Redwood Chapel Community Church. CROSSOVER SPORTS/Basketball is an official affiliate of the Golden State Junior Warriors Program.
Crossover Sports began as Crossover Youth Basketball in 1987. Crossover Sports is a 501(c)3 non-profit that exists to unite the young basketball players in our community with one another, caring coaches, and the local church.
Our Vision: The youth will impact their community and world by allowing God to order their steps.
Our Mission: To share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and live out Godly character.
Our Purpose: To build a generation of Christ Followers.
Founded in 1987, this organization is a recreational ministry and is also one of the largest youth organizations partnered with the NBA’s Junior Warriors program. Our program is designed to provide a fun and safe activity for the youth in our community.
The goal of Crossover is to create healthy competition and build biblical character within its participants. Each participant will receives a uniform for season events and a player devotional booklet with weekly “Crossoverse” Bible verses to study and memorize. This is a co-ed ministry. It is an opportunity for boys and girls to learn about God, have fun, play sports, and demonstrate teamwork skills. For our season events we have one hour practices that are held once per week and games on Saturdays.
Our name, Crossover, has a special meaning. It reminds us that spiritually we can “cross-over” from death to life through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Your support and contributions will enable us support every child looking to participate and will assist us in supporting our local and extended communities.
