Youth and Young Adult Sports Ministry
The
Metropolis currently has a greater-Boston GOYA, JOY, and YAL basketball
leagues that takes place at Hellenic College. The purpose of the leagues
is to bring Orthodox Christian athletes closer to Christ by providing
a mature, safe, moral, and sportsmanlike environment in which a healthy
level of athletic competition can be enjoyed. This year we have had
a tremendous turnout from the parishes.
- Metropolitan Methodios Basketball Invitational: This
basketball tournament
has teams participating from across the Metropolis. It is a great
way to have children who live quite some distance away from the Metropolis
come together and enjoy Orthodox Christian Fellowship.
- YAL Men's Basketball League: Consists of sixteen teams
in two divisions from various Parishes of the Metropolis with over
150 young adult participants. The games are played every Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday between 7:00pm and 11:00pm.

- YAL Indoor Soccer League: For the first time the
Metropolis has established an indoor soccer league for adults. Various
teams from the greater Boston area will enjoy a healthy level of competition,
but more importantly they will have the opportunity to enjoy fellowship
with other Orthodox Christians.
