Sports for Children and Youth at MDUMC
Memorial Drive Church has an outstanding ministry of Sports and Recreation. Over 600 children and youth play team sports throughout the year. We are long standing members of the West Houston Christian Sports Association. There are teams for soccer, basketball and baseball/teeball/softball during the school year. Camps for basketball and volleyball are held during the summer. Coaches are recruited from parents and other interested adults, who are certified in Safe Sanctuary, a Texas Annual Conference program to protect the safety of children and youth.
MDUMC Sports, for children and youth, is now utilizing a new registration system through Sports Signup. With this new system we believe that we will be able to streamline the registration process, complete registrations/refunds faster, better communicate with all of our parents and Coaches and make the formation of teams for all sports faster and more efficient. If you plan on registering your child, or youth, for any of our sports opportunities now, or in the future, please set up your Family Account today by clicking on the following link:
