Abstract
ABSTRACTParent-child relationships can be strengthened by the increased time spent together due to youth sport involvement. The time demands, however, require families to skip religious services. The intent of this qualitative study was to explore how Christian families with competitive youth athletes promote faith development. Fifteen families across the United States were interviewed to gather data related to the level of church and sport involvement as well as behaviours related to faith development. The results suggest families strategically find ways to remain involved in church, integrate their faith into daily life, and identify ways to develop character in sports.
