Sports

Church activities should strengthen testimonies and foster personal growth. They also should provide opportunities to apply gospel principles and help participants develop friendships in a wholesome environment. Church sports programs offer opportunities for members to participate in activities where adherence to Church standards and gospel teachings is expected and required.

Church sports activities are designed to help members focus on and accomplish the mission of the church, which is to "invite all to come unto Christ" (D&C 20:59) and "be perfected in Him." (Moroni 10:32) These activities offer many opportunities for fellowshipping, activating, and sharing the gospel with others. When participants demonstrate Christlike behavior and attitudes, physical activities can help them grow spiritually.

Participant should strive to perform as well as possible in these activities, but the emphasis should be on participation. Priesthood leaders, sports specialists and coaches should ensure that all team members have regular opportunities to play.

Sports activities can provide year-round opportunities for members to participate in a wide variety of individual and team sports.
