The purpose of sports ministry is to fellowship, hang out, have fun, and outreach.  In all honesty, I actually find it kind of difficult to invite people from other parts of my life to come out and play.  And if I do happen to invite people, I always say something like, hey people from my church all go and play FillInSportHere on Sundays, do you want to come?  I include the church part because I don’t want people to show up and then get all caught off guard when we pray before we start.  However, I feel like by saying that its people from church rather than just my friends, it deters people from coming.  I think people get scared when they hear the word church.  I think that they might feel like we are going to preach to them or try to sucker them into something.  The last thing I’d want anyone to feel is pressured.  So what can I do?  I guess I extended the invite.  It’s up to them if they want to come or not.
