Ball & Bible exists to develop the whole athlete by combining sports development with faith centered mentorship and leadership training while creating an environment where young athletes can compete, grow, and have fun.
We believe the lessons learned through sports can shape how young people lead, serve, and live their lives.
Through camps, mentoring, and community outreach, we help athletes grow in their faith and spiritual foundation while developing athletic skills, leadership, character, confidence, resilience, and respect for teammates, coaches, and their community.
Young athletes today face tremendous pressure both in sports and in life. Ball & Bible creates a positive environment where athletes can develop their skills while also strengthening their values and character.
Our goal is not only to develop better athletes, but to help develop better people.
Ball & Bible is guided by a community of experienced men and women of faith who are committed to investing in the next generation of Christian athletes. Our mentors include collegiate athletes and leaders who understand the discipline, perseverance, and character required to compete at a high level while keeping faith at the center of their lives.
These mentors serve as coaches, role models, and leaders during camps and programs, helping young athletes develop their skills while also learning the values of faith, teamwork, leadership, and service. By sharing their experiences both on and off the field, they encourage young athletes to pursue excellence in sports while growing in their walk with God.
Ball & Bible was founded by Levi Rutledge, a collegiate student athlete and basketball player at Midwestern State University, who is passionate about helping young athletes discover their God-given potential and develop into leaders both on and off the court.
The organization is co-founded by Rayan Rutledge, Levi’s father, who has spent 25+ years serving youth, high school, and collegiate coaches, and supporting the important work they do in developing our young people through sports.
Together with a growing network of faith-driven athletes, mentors, and coaches, Ball & Bible is committed to building a community where young athletes can compete with excellence, lead with character, and live with purpose.
