PK4-2nd Grade

west Houston christian sports association

St. Mark organizes teams for Soccer, Basketball, and T-Ball/Baseball for students in PK4 - 2nd Grade. All teams must have a coach to form. Teams typically practice one day per week for 1 hour and games are held on Saturdays.


3rd-4th grade

While St. Mark does not officially form teams for this age group, parents can coordinate to organize an SML team. We recommend the following, more competitive, organizations:

timbergrove SPORTS ASSOCIATION

Timbergrove Sports Association is a family-oriented league that provides opportunities for kids ages 4-15 to play baseball, softball, and soccer year-round.

Kingdom Basketball

Kingdom Basketball is a ministry of Tallowood Baptist Church to provide a God honoring environment for children and their families. Teams are formed based on gender and grade level. No tryouts are required and parents are allowed to input team rosters.

SPRING BRANCH-MEMORIAL SPORTS ASSOCIATION

SBMSA aims to provide Spring Branch-Memorial community youth with facilities and the opportunity to grow in character through sports in a safe, positive and competitive environment.
