For six years I have coached basketball at Pinnacle High School. I love basketball. It is so much fun helping this way. It has helped me make great connections with the school and the administration. It is well worth it. You might think that I have a lot of club […]
If you are heading off to camp one thing you absolutely must do is get in a one-on-one with each kid. This can be the most meaningful time not only for them, but for you. It can be intimidating to sit down and have a conversation with them. So here […]

I’m speaking at a junior high summer camp in a several weeks. I want a theme to tie it all together. I’m thinking Transformers (i.e. Jesus can transform people). I loved them as a kid and I think junior high students like them quite a bit too (based off conversations […]
With camp coming up, our greatest hope is that a friend will come to the point of beginning a relationship with Christ. Here is an outline you can use for yourself or to train others. The main part is PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE. Here is an easy way to remember important parts […]
Here are two more clubs for your junior highers. Again, these come from my super smart and organized YL friend Amber. Dive In Movie Club Grosser than Gross Club
At our club we use a video projector every week. It adds to the setup and work but it has some nice benefits. We normally brings a Playstation and the kids play games before club, especially during our brief team meeting and prayer before club. One game they play is […]
