After School Sports

After School Sports at The Avenue Church
Our After School Sports program offers children a fun and encouraging environment to learn Karate, Soccer, and Tumbling. Through expert instruction and positive coaching, students build confidence, discipline, teamwork, and strong character skills that carry far beyond the gym or field. Each activity is designed to help children grow as leaders, develop healthy habits, and discover their God-given potential—all while having a great time with friends. Join us in nurturing active, confident, and well-rounded kids!

MARTIAL ARTS

MARTIAL ARTS: 4th-6th GRADE

Join our Kajukenbo Martial Arts afterschool program, which is perfect for beginners! Students will learn the basics of this unique self-defense style, including exercises, punches, blocks, and kicks, all in a safe and fun environment. Each class also builds confidence, discipline, and respect through character development activities. No previous experience is needed, just come ready to learn and have fun!

SOCCER

SOCCER: ALL GRADES (1-6)

At IGNITE and Avenue Sports Ministry we infuse fun and outside the box soccer activities with biblical themes (Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, etc). Although we do play the traditional game, our focus is more on character development and fun activities with the ball rather than skill development. We start and end all activities with prayer and encouragement. And every player walks away with a “word of the day” and sense they are seen, heard, and loved by God!

TUMBLING

TUMBLING: 1st- 3rd GRADE

Each week we will focus on warm up, stretching, basic gymnastics, and conditioning. Basic floor gymnastics skills include various rolls, cartwheels, jumps, headstand/handstands, and bridges. Conditioning includes sit ups, push ups, squats, wall-sits etc. Each student will work at their own pace and ability.All classes start and end with prayer!
