About Catholic Sports
Catholic Sports is a Denver-based, nationally growing young adult recreational sports ministry. Our mission is to build authentic community through recreational sports. “We define authentic community as one that fills the void of emotional and spiritual loneliness (Gen Z. 18-25 year-olds are the loneliest generation according to 2018 Cigna Health research) by living our core values (Hospitable Outreach, Catholic Orthodoxy & Vulnerable Intimacy) while remaining rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Our recreational sports leagues allow players to enter this authentic community, through which they will be invited into our Bible Studies, so that they will grow in a personal relationship with Jesus and others.”
We have seen incredible fruit from our ministry. Numerous marriages, re-conversions, and conversions have happened as the Spirit blesses our efforts. This work is bearing fruit…is God inviting you to bear lasting fruit with Catholic Sports?

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be striving for holiness by continuing to grow spiritually and intellectually in their orthodox Roman Catholic formation (Byzantine, Lithuanian, or other rites in union with Roman Catholicism included), and desire to lead a community of peers to knowing and loving Jesus Christ. They should be willing to step out of their comfort zone frequently in order to lead others in faith and hospitality. No missionary can succeed without meeting people where they are at and patiently loving them.
They also must have some affinity towards sports, or enough familiarity to be confident in planning and leading leagues, with provided training. The position requires a lot of social networking and the creation of a hospitable environment requires good conversational skills. All potential candidates will embody Catholic Sports’ values: Hospitable Outreach, Catholic Orthodoxy, and Vulnerable Intimacy.

Position Summary
Year 1 FOCUS – Program Coordination
Year 2 FOCUS – Leadership Development

The sports missionary serves our efforts to evangelize 18-39 year olds through authentic community building. Every missionary plans recreational sports leagues (e.g. basketball, ultimate, volleyball, wiffleball, soccer, etc.), fun social events (i.e. brewery tours, hikes, dances, parties, etc.) and Bible studies. They implement their plans through recruiting and managing a volunteer team, which they will also disciple/form in the Catholics sports mission, vision and core values.

Program coordinators will work in a team and report to a Regional Director. They are encouraged to live with another missionary of the same gender, if possible, with intentional prayer and community among them.
Approximation of the ideal weekly time breakdown:
  • 15% managing league contractors and visiting their leagues, or running leagues in the absence of volunteers
  • 25% leading the Bible study regional effort, including leading their own Bible studies & one-on-one outreach/discipleship
  • 40% administration/managing/forming volunteers, planning events that build the community
  • 10% networking (e.g. Theo. On Tap, YCP, parish/diocese events, etc.) for recruitment and growing participation in all areas for launch locations
  • 10% fundraising maintenance or growth (post fundraising/trainee period)

Position Duties
Event Planning & Coordination: Every missionary will submit an annual event plan for review with their supervisor.
  • Plans should include 5-6 leagues a year in a new location, more as the volunteer/participation base grows.
  • They will also include a major social event (e.g. dances, tours, tournaments, picnics, etc.) every other month (6/year)
  • Smaller socials such as: movies, pickup sports, etc. should be planned on the off months from major social events.
  • The above are the minimum expectations, but missionaries are encouraged to creatively invest in their communities by going above and beyond the minimum and to leverage volunteer assistance in doing so to not burn out socially.
  • Formation:
    • Every missionary will lead at least one Bible study and disciple its participants with intentionality:
    • They will also coordinate the regional Bible study volunteers and cast our vision for Bible studies to those leaders.
  • Volunteer Recruitment & Management: Every missionary must work diligently at recruiting volunteers study leaders and growing the league outreach. The missionary will manage these volunteers and assist in the planning of an annual appreciation event.

Compensation
Program Coordinators of Catholic Sports fundraise their income in order to further the mission (i.e. they are missionaries). Catholic Sports has successfully trained many missionaries on how to build an income producing support team from friends, family and referrals. The first nine weeks are set aside strictly for building this support team, which will sustain the missionaries in their work with Catholic Sports in building the Kingdom of God. Support team building is performed remotely near the missionary's home base. Building this support team for prayer and financial support is critical to making a livable wage in ministry and having the prayer backing needed for ministry. Our missionaries have repeatedly admitted that stepping out in faith for support raising has been the greatest faith growth period of their lives, even more than doing the mission work.

Missionaries will also be offered benefits, not limited to, but such as:
  1. Disability Insurance & Family Leave
  2. Retirement contribution matching up to 3%
  3. Health/vision/dental care insurance or premium reimbursements
  4. Flexible scheduling and unlimited PTO

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class, except where allowed by law for religious specific job duties.
