‘No Practice’ Basketball League

Beginning on Thursday, March 22nd This will be a LOW KEY 'league' for children ages 1st - 6th grade. There is no cost and we will rely on volunteers to run the scrimmages with the same principles as Upward! We will start with 1st - 4th grade playing from 6 - 6:45pm and 5th-6th graders playing from 6:45-7:30pm. We will adjust as needed.

The TOT Program!

The TOT Program is where athletics and academics meet! It is a creative basketball ball-handling, academic, and motor development program for preschool kids. It is a 45-minute class that is filled with fun and educational activities!

It is conveniently held right here at the church. A TOT teacher will come to the CDC and escort your child over to the CLC gym for the class.

We will have the opportunity to show-off our awesome skills at various performance opportunities throughout the year. We are invited to perform with the Harlem Globetrotters team at the American Airlines Center in January, and we will also perform at a local high school basketball game. We will finish the year with a “Shine-Time Performance”, where the kids will get their hard-earned trophy!

We will be offering classes on Mondays and Tuesdays at 2pm.

If you have any questions, please contact Laura Braxton at 214-240-3156 or at laura@teamsoftomorrow.com. You can also visit www.teamsoftomorrow.com. I hope to see you soon!

Run for Christ! We will start this back up in the summer.

Bring your kids to the CLC and "Run for Christ". Keep your children active and promote exercise by participating in this simple run/reward program. Kids ages 4 and up can run laps (or walk or wheelchair - just get them moving!) on the track...for every 5 laps completed, they'll get to pick a prize out of our 'Treasure Chest'! Children will get to keep track of their laps on a coloring sheet.....it's easy, fun and you can come do this any time the CLC is open!

Here is a brief list of some of the programs we offer through the CLC:

CUMC also offers an outstanding Children's Ministries Program; click HERE to learn more.
