Almighty God,
You are the source of all our gifts and talents
As participants in (Insert Name) sports,
Please help us to represent You
As members of the Body of Christ,
In our attitudes, competition and actions.
Protect us from all injuries
And give us the strength to play our best
Using sound strategies
In a fun, fair and competitive way.
Help us to respect all that are here today;
Parents, fans, coaches, teammates,
Opponents and officials
Guide the coaches and officials
To aid us in playing in a Christ-like manner.
Amen.
Gary Roney, Athletic Director
Pittsburgh Catholic Youth Ministry, High School Athletics, Pittsburgh, PA
