What

A multi-sport huddle is a small group bible study for coaches and athletes from multiple sports teams and all whom they influence.

Who

All campus huddles are led by student-athletes. Coaches may provide supervision. 

Where

The best answer to this question is, “Wherever works best for your huddle.” There is a lot of flexibility. Multi-sport huddles can meet in a variety of locations on and off campus (classrooms, athletic facilities, auditoriums, libraries, homes, churches, etc.) Ultimately, this is determined by what works best for the huddle members. 

When

The best answer to this question is, “Whenever works best for your huddle.” There is a lot of flexibility. Multi-sport huddles can meet anytime morning, afternoon or evening. Ultimately, this is determined by what works best for the huddle members.

Now that you understand the great opportunities you have to minister in campus sports through FCA, we need a few items from you to get the process started. All FCA Ministry is certified and supported by local field staff. The following steps allow us to assess the ministry opportunity and determine if it is a good fit. If so, then the ministry will be certified and you can begin meeting.
