Diocesan Prayer
Before all games the teams and coaches should come together in the middle of the court and recite the following prayer:
Dear Lord,
You have blessed us with many gifts and talents.
We thank you especially for the ability to participate in sports today.
Help us to play in a Christ like manner.
Help us to play in a way that will foster teamwork.
Help us to play to the best of our ability.
Win or lose, we hope to have fun, make friends and celebrate life.
Amen.
