Heavenly Father,
I thank you for the privilege of coaching this team.
Thank you for the gift of each player and the gifts you have given them.
Thank you for all that these children contribute to this team.
Watch over this team as they compete,
Keep them safe and grant them courage and strength to complete the tasks required of them.
May I give my best effort as a coach,
as they give their best effort in competition.
Amen.
