Develop Your Teamwork Skills
Join us in Louisville and use your passion for basketball to reach our neighbors and the nations. The DTS's Basketball Elective will enable you to connect with people on and off the court through the game you love.
Dive Deep into Basketball
The Basketball Elective includes all the standard elements of DTS. We’ll train you in hearing the voice of God, intercessory prayer, humility, forgiveness, healthy relationships, and so much more. The basketball focus is an add-on to help you develop teamwork and skill while investing in the lives of others. It's not uncommon for there to be opportunities on outreach to use the things you'll learn during your elective time!
Hands-on Ministry
You’ll take the next eight-weeks to engage the nations with the Gospel. You and your team will meet both practical and spiritual needs as you share Jesus in a strategic overseas location. Recent DTS YWAM teams have ministered in Thailand, South Asia, Ukraine,Bolivia, and North Africa. Locations vary and the possibilities are endless.
What Does This Elective Involve?
Godly Character as an Athlete
We’re called to represent the Lord in all we do and that includes playing basketball. Learn about character attributes that are essential to growing closer to who you’re called to be as an athlete
Sharing the Gospel Through Basketball
Whether it’s here in Louisville or during your overseas outreach, sports are a great way to meet people. Learn how to use the relationships you make through playing basketball to share the Gospel with people
Humility On and Off the Court
Humility means putting others ahead of yourself. Putting the team and your teammates first is one of the most important things and one of the hardest things you’ll do. Everybody wants to be the hero but to represent the Lord while playing, walking in humility is key
Healthy Competition
Our deepest and most raw emotions tend to come out in the heat of competition. Here you have the opportunity to learn how to deal with these emotions in a healthy way and enjoy competition instead of being ruled by it

What people say
"DTS changed my view of God. I didn't understand how personal He was, but God showed me that He wanted to be involved in every part of my life."
Gabe
DTS Graduate
“In South Asia I stepped out and shared my life story with a family and the father ended up giving his life to Christ.”
Marissa
DTS Graduate
“On my DTS outreach God showed me the importance of taking advantage of every ministry opportunity He gives me, no matter where I am…whether here in a park in Louisville or in the townships of South Africa. He will always use our obedience.”
Jacoby
DTS Graduate
"During my DTS outreach I felt prompted to tell “Ashley” that God was her loving father. I obeyed and was surprised when she started crying and said this was exactly what she needed to hear in that moment. I am still amazed when God uses me."
