church league

Congregation's sports organization

A church league is a recreational sports league organized through religious congregations, typically for softball, basketball, or bowling.

The competition is usually low-key and emphasizes fellowship over athleticism.

By extension, church league describes anything amateurish or unserious: Their security system was church league at best.
