They make stakes you can put into the ground that let out small electric pulses that keep them away.  I'm not sure how far away from the stake it will work but it should work if you put them on the corners and by the net (outside the sand).\nYou can find them at places like Home Depot.

Sounds like a good idea. Although I think it would have to be taken as an individual church thing and then submitted to a common website. I think it might help people looking for churches although it might make some churches aspire to be better at this and that taking away from the real reason they have worship service in the first place. Just a thought.

The church as helped the community all these years and now it is time for the community to help the church. The members should all get together and roll up their sleeves and pitch in on this great service project. It will make the church feel more like it belongs to them after they have fixed it up and the Lord will not overlook this act of kindness from them and will repay them many times over. ←

I couldn't say for sure, but perhaps a local scout troop would be able to help out? Considering it is for a school carnival they might decide to participate and set up a stall also to recruit the kiddies.

Contact your local parks and recreation department.  I remember when I was a kid they always had sports teams available to the public for kids.

You need to talk to owners and managers of local businesses and tell them you have a youth basketball league and see if they would sponsor a team.

Try and get security cameras installed around the church.  Make sure they are installed so they will catch any tag numbers of vehicles.  Once you have tag numbers on video tape, you've got 'em.  If you turn this info. over to the authorities, the vandals will probably have to complete community service or pay a stiff fine.  Personally, I think it would be much more funny to see them cleaning toilets at the local park to work of their sentence.

I don't know where you play...But someone should mop or dustmop the court just before you play.If not keep a wet rag handy.

(This is a short letter, since I am unsure of the details)\n\nIt has been a time for mourning for the past [insert time span here] since the church caught on fire. Our church has done a magnificent job in spreading the word of God yet now, as a crisis arose, there is not enough funds and prayers to keep the church alive. It will be an honor to recieve your help in this plea. Thank you very much for your help. - [insert parish here]

Tell them to get active or you'll drop their players. :)

I would suggest getting everyone in your church to tell their friends, have certain events and such that set you apart from just any vacation bible school.  Offer things for all ages and just spread the word!\n\n-Giselle

That actually sounds like a lot of fun! People have done it with hockey, so why not basketball? Your grandkids may very well have started a new sports craze!

If the Church won't go to minister, bring the ministry to the Church.  Your example to them just might provoke them to good works.\n\nDo something fun.  Maybe invite a born-again motorcycle club to bring coffee and donuts and minister to the congregation after service.

Contact the YMCA in your area or contact the parks or recreation department for your city.  They'll probably have contact info for the league there.
