Ball & Bible is guided by a community of experienced men and women of faith who are committed to investing in the next generation of athletes and leaders. Our mentors include collegiate athletes and other leaders who understand the discipline, perseverance, teamwork, 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 athletic skills, confidence, communication, teamwork, accountability, leadership, and character. Through their experiences both on and off the field, they encourage athletes to pursue excellence, serve others, grow as leaders, and apply Christian values to sports and everyday life.
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 role sports can play in developing young people.
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, grow as leaders, strengthen their character, and live with purpose.
