How it Works

  • Free Entry Tournaments

    We sponsor baseball tournaments with no entry fees. Teams can compete without financial burdens.

    Pray at the Plate pays for all field, registration, parking, gate, and umpire fees.

  • Faith Integration

    We incorporate faith-based activities throughout the tournament:

    Prayers: Teams lead prayers before games, fostering a sense of unity and gratitude.

    Sunday Worship: We host a Sunday worship service for all participants and attendees, creating a space for collective worship.

    Discipleship Booths: These booths offer resources and support for those looking to deepen their faith, ask questions, or seek guidance. Additionally, we give away free Bibles to those interested in exploring the scriptures.

  • Baseball Siblings Club

    Understanding that baseball games are family events, we've created the Baseball Siblings Club. This club offers faith-based activities for younger siblings, ensuring they also have a meaningful and enjoyable experience.

  • Community Building

    Our events are not just about the game. They're about building a supportive community where faith and sportsmanship go hand in hand. We aim to create meaningful connections among players, families, and fans.

    The local church that conducts the worship service will receive all the donations collected during the tournament days for their youth department.

    We will have donation spots at the gate and the discipleship booths for those who wish to contribute.

  • Disciple Making on the Baseball Field

    Discipleship isn’t limited to church—it can thrive on the baseball field too! Here are some ways to incorporate discipleship into the game:

    Relational Engagement

    Attend Games: Show support for children in your community, whether they are from your church or neighborhood, by attending their baseball games, recitals, or other events.

    Conversations: Engage with players, parents, and coaches at the game. Ask about their lives, challenges, and joys, and be open to seeing how God might be working in their hearts.

    Model Christ-Like Behavior

    Sportsmanship: Exhibit integrity, respect, and good sportsmanship during the game. Let your actions reflect how your faith in Jesus shapes your behavior both on and off the field.

    Encourage Others: Remind players to embrace honor, humility, and teamwork. Encourage them that their identity is not in their performance, but in who they are in Christ.

    Prayer and Fellowship

    Pray Together: Invite players, coaches, and parents to join in prayer before or after the game. Pray for safety, enjoyment, and opportunities to demonstrate Christ’s love.

    Post-Game Fellowship: Organize post-game gatherings where families can connect and share stories. Use this time to encourage one another in your faith.

    The baseball field is not just for honing physical skills—it’s a space for growing in character, building relationships, and nurturing spiritual growth. Let your love for Jesus shine through every pitch, swing, and play!
