Rick Carter, the director of our baseball ministry, has been working with various travel teams over the past few years. He’s been able to help equip teams with devotional material and encourage numerous players in their walk with Christ. As our ministry has grown we’ve seen the need to have a place to practice. We’re also starting a t-ball league in the fall but need a place to play the games. In Lexington, baseball fields for practice and games are hard to come by, but we’ve been offered a place to use however the field is in need of some work.

Some of the work that needs to be done are: the field needs to be graded, the backstop fixed, new dugouts built, and bleachers for families to sit on. To fix the field, it will cost an estimated $3000.00. We are excited about this opportunity to outreach in the community. Would you consider partnering with us for this cause?

You can donate online at www.crossoverathletics.org. In the comment box within the donate section please put “BASEBALL FIELD” so we know how to designate all funds. Thank you for helping us reach the community. All donations are tax-deductible.

For any businesses interested in advertising at the field we are selling 6X8 banners with company name and logo to have up for 6 months to be viewed at all Crossover baseball activities. If interested contact us at info@crossoverathletics.org.

Thank you again for helping us fulfill our mission. God Bless,

Jesse Harmon

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:39:00 +0000

Every January I look back on the past year and can't help but to be thankful. I remember back to January '09 when Sarah and I stepped away from First Baptist and started Crossover Athletics. We had no clue what we were about to go through but we have seen God do amazing things in and through us.

This past year we saw some great things. We started summer sports camps for elementary age students. It was great to encourage young people to be active, stay healthy and teach them how to follow Christ. We also started a fall flag football league in Lexington and saw our Spring league grow to the largest number yet. In 2011 we had the opportunity to work with over 400 athletes on a personal level in our community. We just don't speak to large groups but we get to know them. We remember their names, talk with their families and encourage them to achieve their God-given potential.

We teamed up with John Middleton to start a street hockey league for youth. Who knew that hockey would get any traction in the south...but it did! We had a blast learning and playing hockey. We ended the season by taking a group of kids to the Charleston Stingrays hockey game and touring their facility. It was an incredible experience for everyone involved!

Our basketball ministry has grown with the direction of Sam Brown being our director. Sam is great at working with young people and encouraging them to walk with Jesus. We are gearing up for a big 2012 travel basketball season.

I want to thank everyone who helped us achieve what we did in 2011. It's because of the generosity of individuals and businesses that we are able to share the message of Christ with young athletes. We can't say "Thank You" enough for all you've done for our ministry.

2011 was great for our ministry and we are excited about the direction of Crossover and what all God has in store for us in 2012. God Bless,

Crossover Flag Football Season Results

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:58:00 +0000

We just finished our first fall flag football season with an exciting tournament. All games were very competitive and fun to watch. However, Crossover's mission is so much more than just trying to get wins and losses, it's about helping the participants understand their God-given potential. Our goal is to equip them with necessary tools for life that will help them achieve and pursue all God has for them. Our coaches lead team devotions and challenge their team each week. It's been a great season and looking forward to the Spring League!

Spring League registration opens February 1st!

Here are the results from our tournament. Our High School division will have their tournament on the 25th and 27th.

Elementary Division 1st place - Blue Team

Elementary Division Runner-Up- Yellow Dragons

Middle School Division 1st Place - Falcons

Middle School Division Runner-up - White Team

Adult Division 1st Place- Trinity Baptist Church

Help Crossover get some wheels!

Thanks for checking out this blog post. I wanted to let you know of an opportunity to partner with us to impact students in Lexington.

Crossover Athletics is a non-profit 501(c)3 ministry that relies on the generosity of churches for our programs. We partner with churches to conduct our leagues, clinics, tournaments and travel teams. Currently we use the fields of Fellowship Baptist church for our flag football league and Willow Ridge Church for our basketball academy program. We are very thankful for their generosity.

However, we are in need of a vehicle to store and transport supplies from location to location. As of now we do not have a vehicle that is capable of transporting and storing our supplies. Through a few personal contacts we've found an old uhaul vehicle that will solve our needs. We need to raise $2,500 for the vehicle. The uhaul truck will be able to store all of our supplies and allow us to have room to grow with future supplies we will need. Will you prayerfully consider partnering with us to help meet the need. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Here are a few ways you can help:

1) You can donate online at: Crossover Athletics Truck Donation

2) Share our story with friends and family.

3) Pray for our ministry and the impact on student athletes.

Stay tuned to our blog for updates on how close we are to reaching our goal!

CROSSOVER BASEBALL!

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 12:13:00 +0000

This is what it's all about! Rick Carter heads up our baseball ministry and God is really moving. Our baseball ministry consists of writing devotions and being the "spiritual coach" for various travel teams. Each time they play it gives Rick and opportunity to invest in the lives of the players. He leads them through a devotion time, then prays with the guys.

We feel God is moving with our baseball ministry. We recently received permission to set-up Crossover tents throughout the state at travel tournaments to give families the opportunity to learn and hear God's word during their weekend tournaments. We are thrilled to partner with area churches to help in this mission. Continue to pray for this ministry as we begin to spread and equip people to carry the mission.

Here's an excerpt from Rick in an email updating people what's happening in our baseball ministry.

A little story for you all - One of the kids on our team has been dealing with his parents very nasty divorce over the last year or so. At a tourney a while back he asked me if we could have devotions on Saturday and Sunday instead of just Sunday - I told him absolutely! His mom came up to me last week and thanked me for doing the devotions and that she had started getting them back in their local church when she has the kids. This woman had never even expressed any interest in our devotions but God was working in her heart. We don't always know what's going on with people. We just need to be faithful and keep Jesus out front.

If you are interested in partnering with us and possibly setting up a tent contact us, info@crossoverathletics.org.

3-on-3 Basketball Tournament Results!

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:51:00 +0000

A big thanks to Riverland Hills Baptist Church and their sports ministry RecLife for hosting the 2011 Crossover 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge. Our day consisted of a double elimination tournament with middle school, high school, and adult divisions. All divisions were highly competitive and fun to watch. In between games we had our 3 point competition. We had 3 rounds with the top half advancing to the next round. In the finals, players were given 45 seconds to shoot from their favorite spot on the court. Jordan Davis blew away the competition with 12 shots made. Thanks to everyone that participated and hope to see you at our events in the future!

3 point competition Champion- Jordan Davis

Jordan Davis brought home the championship after hitting 12 3point shots in 45 seconds. The closest competitor had 6. Congratulations Jordan!

Middle School Champion - Team Haney

High School Champion - Team Red Rockets

Adult Champion- SWAT Team

BOYS OF SUMMER FLAG FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT RESULTS

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:15:00 +0000

This year's boys of summer flag football tournament turned out to be our most competitive tournament to date. Teams from Irmo, Lexington, Columbia battled it out in a double elimination tournament to see who had the best team.

Our semi-final game was intense with the RecLife "Green" against "REVOLUTION". Revolution pulled it out in the end with a 1 point victory by stopping the Green team on their extra point try with 30 seconds remaining in the game.

The championship game was a game for the ages. Revolution vs. Capital City. The game literally came down to the last play with Revolution having to throw a touchdown pass the length of the field with 4 seconds left on the clock. They converted on their extra point with no time remaining to get the victory.

It was a great day of competition and fun. As Jonathan Johnson, sports ministry director at Riverland Hills, shared Saturday morning,
Colossians 3:23 - whatever you do do it willingly as to the Lord and not for men.

We want to start by saying thank you to all the generous donors to our ministry. It's because of you that we are able to provide our services for all our participants. Trusting in God for the resources to come in can be and is very nerve racking but trusting God's provision has deepened our faith.

Summer Sports Fun Days

noreply@blogger.com (CROSSOVER ATHLETICS) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:30:00 +0000

We are in our 3rd week of summer camp and all the athletes have had a blast. Our daily routine begins with our morning stretching to playing for 3 hours in the hot sun!...perfect recipe for fun.

All participants are divided up by age group and have the opportunity to choose between different sport tracts. Our tracts consists of wiffle ball, kick ball, soccer, flag football, basketball, capture the flag, and dodge ball. Our most popular game so far has been capture the flag. I must say that I'd forgotten how much fun capture the flag is to play.

In between our 2nd and 3rd tracts we bring everyone together and give them a lesson based on one of our 5 core values, honor, integrity, character, teamwork, and faith.

I want to thank all of our personal and business sponsors for allowing us to have our program. Thanks for helping us fulfill our mission. God Bless
