We seek to do this by developing individuals physically, emotionally, socially, relationally, and spiritually. It is the mission of REAL Sports to provide a positive, competitive, faith-based sports culture for players, parents, spectators, and coaches driven by a desire to honor Jesus Christ in and through sports. The heart of REAL Sports is to develop the whole person through a Christ-centered sports culture and to prepare athletes to achieve their fullest potential for God in all areas, including the sports they love. Our program services, which include open gyms, clinics, camps, and competitive club sports, seek to develop individuals through sport in each of these 5 distinct areas: physically, emotionally, socially, relationally, and spiritually. Our program services are conducted by coaches, trainers, and other volunteers. We conduct our program services at various athletic venues, some of which we are able to use at no charge and others for which we must pay rental fees. The percentage of time allocated to our program services was substantial, as activities took place multiple times each week for at least 6 months out of the year, and at least monthly for the other 6 months, with many of those months having multiple day activities. The program services offered by REAL Sports are funded by participation fees and donations. The exempt purpose for which REAL Sports is organized is to establish, maintain, promote, and operate a faith-based sports ministry that is religious, charitable, and educational. Our program services are critical to this purpose by allowing our volunteers the opportunity to impact athletes and their families, spectators, and coaches purposely and directly. Our program services allow us to incorporate basic disciplines that minister to the whole person. In addition, we perform these objectives with a God-centered focus. 0 101207 Real Sports seeks to "love our neighbors" through serving our community. Sports offer a great platform for us to do this. We offered free clinics and trainings and partnered with other Christian sports entities, such as Upwards and Fellowship of Christian Athletes to provide resources and support for our community members. We also participate in other community outreach events as the Lord leads and opportunities arise. For example, in this fiscal year, we have collected and purchased back-to-school materials to donate to local schools, sponsored Christmas Angels through local schools, and served alongside church ministries in ministering to various needs in the community. Our community outreach endeavors are conducted by volunteers and take place in various sectors of the community, including schools, churches, and neighborhoods. The percentage of time allocated to our community outreach events varies based on need and opportunity. Community outreach events offered by REAL Sports are funded by donations. The exempt purpose for which REAL Sports is organized is to establish, maintain, promote, and operate a faith-based sports ministry that is religious, charitable, and educational. Our community outreach endeavors are critical to this purpose by allowing our volunteers the opportunity to impact our community through sports and other avenues by putting others ahead of themselves and serving with the heart of Jesus. 0 1848 103055 Darrell Brown President 15 0 0 0 Bradley Peffly Vice President 10 0 0 0 Allen Coats Secretary 2 0 0 0 Carla West Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Robyn Brown Board member 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Robyn Brown 406 Alma Brown Rd Sanford NC 27330 9105840962 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 9478 10425 11497 12678 37800 81878 38034 53416 57105 83671 123898 356124 47512 63841 68602 96349 161698 438002 438002 47512 63841 68602 96349 161698 438002 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 GENERAL & ADMIN FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES $2347.87 (advertising/promo=$787.37; office expenses=$1057.83; bank/payment service fees=$390.67; fees for non-profit/tax exempt status filing=$112); PROGRAM SERVICES FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES=$101,206.64 (club, team, coach registration fees=$2470.20; uniforms & apparel=$25,818.22; tournament registration fees and associated costs=$25,035.84; team materials/supplies=$6203.62; equipment=$5,252.18; camp/clinic expenses=$1149.13; insurance=$793.98; education, training, & development=$466.16; tournament/camp travel= $13,949.31; volunteer expense reimbursement=$20,068); COMMUNITY MISSIONS OUTREACH FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES=$1848.55 (community outreach events=$782.48; community missions projects=$1066.07) Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 equipment (volleyballs, net system components, baseball equipment, etc.) purchased in this fiscal year = $5252.18 less lost/broken/replaced/depreciated equipment (-3000) = $2252.18 Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 other assets = total non-cash assets = $9,311.18 (entered this FY with $7059 plus $ 2252 (equipment purchased this FY less broken/replaced/lost/depreciated considerations)
