The criteria for making the list is 1) it has to be a sports movie and 2) I like it. Yes, I know my methods are not scientific and very biased. It is my list. If you disagree then I encourage you to post your own list. If you create your own top sports movie list be sure to leave a link so I can read your list.
Honorable Mention: Facing the Giants is in no way equal to the other movies on the list but I believe it at least deserves a shout out. Produced by Sherwood Pictures using all volunteers. It is probably one of the better Christian movies. Sherwood Pictures seeks to produce quality family movies with a very limited budget.
