SPRING 2024
The King’s Warriors Soccer Club is excited to announce the beginning of the Youth Development League for this Fall on Tuesday, March 26. Practices will be held every Tuesday at Hilldale Community Park near Talcott, and continue till Tuesday, May 14. Practices will begin at 5:30 PM, and run for 1-1 ½ hours, depending on age level.
Game days will be Sunday afternoons, usually between 2:30 PM and 4 PM, so as to not interfere with church services; April 7, 14, 21, 28; May 5, 19 (we'll take May 12 off for Mother's Day); all at Hilldale Community Park.
You may sign up at the field on practice days, or print & fill out the form by clicking here.
Registration fee is $25/child.
Checks may be made out to:
The Nehemiah Group, Inc., or simply TNG.
Format
Our youth league plays a style of soccer called FUNino (“Fun-ēēn-yō”), or “mini-soccer.” We play on our usual smaller youth sized goals with 3 players to a team, but there are TWO goals on each end. This provides lots of opportunities for shooting and scoring goals. This training method has been sweeping across Europe, and we’re enjoying using it with our players.
Age Divisions
We will have 3 age divisions:
1) Kindergarten-1st grade;
2) 2nd-4th grade;
3) 5th grade and up.
Division placement is flexible based on player sign-ups, players’ strengths, and parents’ wishes.
Older kids are invited to try out for the varsity King’s Warriors, contact us by clicking here if you are interested!

Volunteers: Parents, we need coaches!

The Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting King. Jeremiah 10:10.
The Lord is King for ever and ever. Psalm 10:16.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God. Psalm 5:2.
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. Psalm 74:12.
Unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever…Jesus
Christ…is…the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords…. I Timothy 1:17, 6:14, 15.
WARRIORS – We are called to stand and fight for truth in a dark and dying world.
.…a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:8.
He gathered…chosen men, which were warriors, to fight…. II Chronicles 11:1.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen
him to be a soldier. II Timothy 2:4.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand... Psalm 149:6.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. II Corinthians 10:4.
SOCCER (sports) – God frequently used sports metaphors to convey a message.
He will surely…toss thee like a ball. Isaiah 22:18.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. I Corinthians 9:24.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk; and
not faint. Isaiah 40:30, 31.
(Wrestling.) Ephesians 6:10-18.
…Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our
faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne
of God. Hebrews 12:1, 2.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith… II Timothy 4:7.
CLUB – We need each other.
Two are better than one…For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow…And if one prevail against him, two
shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10, 12.
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up. Jeremiah 22:29.

Show mercy and compassions every man to his brother. Zechariah 7:9.
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8.
If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and set him
in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my
name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. Mark 9:35b-37.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles
exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall
not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of
man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many. Matthew 20:25-28.
