Basketball Team

Holsby’s basketball team, formed of students and staff, is a sports ministry that runs concurrently with the full-year Bible school course. Each season, the Holsby team plays competitively in the Swedish second division league. The team members also lead basketball clinics and participate in weekly community outreaches. Participating students attend regular classes and have practices and games during their free time.

This program impacts the lives of many young men. Those who would never set foot in a church gladly get involved in the sport of basketball, and the team has many opportunities to speak truth into the lives of other young athletes.

Basketball as Outreach

A challenge given to the basketball team players is to offer their gifts back to God by using them to serve others. Throughout the year, the basketball team is provided opportunities to serve by leading clinics and camps. It is our joy to further God’s kingdom through sport.

Holsby’s basketball team has seen a wide range of talent since the program’s inception in 1994. From beginners up to division one athletes many have competed on the team. Several Holsby alumni have gone on to play in Sweden’s top basketball divisions. These players have made a powerful impact in local communities and have had opportunities to share the life of Jesus Christ with Swedish teammates and their families.
