  • The games are mostly within a 60- minute drive from Damascus.
    They range from Frederick, Hagerstown, Westminster and Gaithersburg, a few in northern Virginia and near Baltimore.
    Since we don't have a home gym, we tend to travel to the opponent's venue for most games.

End-of-Season-Tournament

Practices are at Bethesda Church
11901 Bethesda Church Rd, Damascus, MD 20872

Our program is geared to develop competitive teams. Yet we seek to find a place for every athlete that comes out for a sport. While we are not a "Rec" program, we will invest in every player to see them develop to the potential for which they apply themselves.

Our Basketball SEASONS are a "Winter sport" that run during the 4 months of November through February.

For the other parts of the year, we also typically hold Open Gyms, Skills Clinics, and Sport Camps. These are valuable in helping the athletes to grow in their skills, experience, and in their friendships together.

What Force Families Have to Say ....

The Frederick Force has offered our son a unique experience for a homeschooler - the chance to play competitive sports in an organized and Christian setting. As parents, we so appreciate the focus on building character alongside his friends and peers which has been a highlight of the season. Our son especially loves being with his teammates and competing at a high level. 
 
Paul and Michele

Coming to play for Force has been such a gift to our middle school athlete! He is very competitive and driven and loves God - to have an athletic program that combines those same values is amazing. We are so grateful for very dedicated coaches (to spiritual health and growth as well as athletic) and a wonderfully communicative and dedicated director/staff. Open gyms, conditioning, and social team building on top of practices and games are just cherries on top. Thanks, Force!
