Our Mission

Building Character Through Softball

Rockdale Christian Youth Softball exists to provide a Christ-centered environment where young athletes can develop their skills, build lasting friendships, and grow in character.

For 20 years and over 30 seasons, RCYS has been serving families in Rockdale County and surrounding communities. We believe that youth sports should be about more than just winning games - it's about teaching life lessons, building confidence, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

Faith • Character • Growth
