helping Battle Creek Youth rise - on the field, in school, and in life

Every Child Deserves a Chance to Thrive

Many families in our community face real challenges—limited access to transportation, safe spaces, healthy meals, and academic or emotional support.

We understand what’s missing—and we’re here to help. New Level Sports Ministries (NLSM) meets families where they are and gives every child the chance to grow into a strong, confident leader – on the field and off.

Preparing youth for real life

Your child deserves more than just a place to play—they deserve real-world experiences that build confidence, character, and future-ready skills.

That’s why our programs focus on what matters most: early learning, academic support, leadership development, and personal growth—all designed to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.

Early Childhood Learning - nurturing strong starts through Sugar & Spice
Tutoring & Mentorship – one-on-one guidance, academic support, and leadership development
Youth Support – confidence-building spaces like Girls Unlimited and MANtality
Sports – structured, character-driven athletics for all skill levels
Entrepreneurship – hands-on experience, workforce readiness, and real-world business skills
Real-world Learning – Youth Village, Custer Greens Golf Course, and Urban Farm

More Than a Program—We’re Building a Movement

If you’re looking for more than just a seasonal activity, you’re not alone. The Battle Creek families we serve want long-term support, not just short-term fixes.

That’s why New Level is open seven days a week, year-round—offering mentorship, opportunity, and community to help youth rise in school, in character, and in life.

Whether your child is just starting school or ready to take on the world, our core programs are designed to support every stage of growth.

Real Stories. Real Impact.

This is a wonderful place for student-athletes and kids of all ages to get involved in sports and cheerleading at an affordable cost. But it’s more than that—it’s a place that equips our children to put their best foot forward in life, not just on the field. As parents, we’ve also found a way to engage in our community, lead by example, and support the next generation.

New Level Sports Ministries taught my son the importance of education before sports and taught him how to be a positive young black man in this day and age. They instilled in him that everything is possible through God.

New Level Sports is truly a pillar of our community. They create meaningful opportunities for youth and families and have built strong partnerships with local organizations and school districts. This is an organization worth supporting—you’ll see the impact of your investment every day in the lives of the kids they serve.
