Coaches can choose to "PLAY UP". This means scheduling competition that is above the team's standard level of play usually based on the number of students in the school. Pre-season or practice games also provide the opportunity to PLAY UP by competing with larger schools.
Although the game schedule is up to the coach and league, team members must buy into the PLAY UP challenge. It is an opportunity for the team to “put on their big boy pants” and play at the top of their game against a team that is known to have a skills and abilities greater than theirs. It stretches their bodies, minds and competitive spirits…excellent preparation for the season ahead.
Christ calls us to PLAY UP…to become more like Him! Although many circumstances of life are not ours to “schedule”, we are called to rise to life's occasions by developing attitudes and actions that stretch our patience, keep our minds steady and release love that comes from Him.
“Put on tender mercies (compassion), kindness, humility, meekness, patience (longsuffering), and forgiveness . . . but above all these things put on love.” Colossians 3:12 & 14
Let's put on our spiritual “big girl pants” and PLAY UP to new realms of conduct.
BECOME MORE LIKE CHRIST … PLAY UP!
