Our Vision
We envision Greenville, SC to be a place full of children who know their worth as people created by God.
We exist because there are many children who are growing up without knowing their worth and therefore falling prey to hopelessness and dysfunction. We believe that through the game of soccer, intentional conversations about God, and interpersonal relationships with the soccer coaches, our children can feel safe to learn about their worth and value. We believe in the worth of every single soul and we believe that childhood is supposed to be full of abundant joy and limitless fun.
Our Strategy
Partnerships
- Partnering with schools and churches to provide free soccer programs.
Curriculum
- Following a Gospel-based curriculum that includes basic soccer skills, bible lessons, and foundational teammork principles.
Age Focus
- Programming that elevates the youngest generation, ages 3-12 year olds.
Coaches
- Showing up for our children on a weekly basis to embody the life of Jesus.
How we got here
It started with helping kids
In 2010, Buddy Hall and his wife Amanda founded His Turn Ministries INC. It was primarily a youth-focused ministry in Spartanburg, SC.
Over time they created a relationship with Greenville's Fuller Normal Industrial Institute, which mainly serves elementary school students and toddlers. Because of this relationship, our focus changed from youth to younger children. In 2017, His Turn Soccer had a short, 5-week season at Fuller Normal.
After three years of stagnant growth, Bailey King was hired as Executive Director in January of 2021. Throughout 2021, His Turn had 2 nine-week seasons at Fuller Normal and created a partnership with Reconcile Community Church located in Welcome,SC,to provide various soccer programs. Even though we look different than we did in 2010, we still desire to turn the youngest generation back to hope and joy in a world where hope seems so far away.
