What Force Families Have to Say ....

Coming to play for Force has been such a gift to our middle school athlete! He is very competitive and driven and loves God - to have an athletic program that combines those same values is amazing. We are so grateful for very dedicated coaches (to spiritual health and growth as well as athletic) and a wonderfully communicative and dedicated director/staff. Open gyms, conditioning, and social team building on top of practices and games are just cherries on top. Thanks, Force!


--Ally

The Frederick Force has offered our son a unique experience for a homeschooler - the chance to play competitive sports in an organized and Christian setting. As parents, we so appreciate the focus on building character alongside his friends and peers which has been a highlight of the season. Our son especially loves being with his teammates and competing at a high level.
