Coach, you are one of the most influential individuals in our society. The demands on your time are significant and require a lot of sacrifice. We get it. That is why we make it easy for you to stay connected and growing in your faith even in the busiest and most stressful times.
FCA seeks to equip coaches with a biblical perspective on their calling as coaches through one-one-on discipleship, small group fellowships (Huddles), events and clinics. All the while, providing resources that empower you to be the transformational coach you have always wanted to be.
Regular fellowship with other FCA coaches will help you find or reconnect you to your "WHY". We want to help your "WHY" align with your faith in a way that is legal, comfortable and impactful.
Take a big step in aligning your "WHY" with your call to coach by taking the 90 minute, online, 360 Coach Course.
You are more than a coach.
You’re a leader.
A guide.
Your athletes look up to you for guidance in every area of life—physical, mental, emotional, relational, financial and spiritual. But, you can’t give what you don’t already have.
The 360 Coach Bible Study is a companion resource to guide you through a biblical approach to coaching the heart, mind and body. Each lesson explores the biblical truths outlined in 360 Coach and how they apply to your life as a coach. Use the 360 Coach Bible Study to enhance your individual, Coaches Huddle, or 1-on-1 studies.
What
An FCA Coaches Huddle is a small group Bible Study for coaches that coach teams at all levels on campus and in community club/travel sports. A Coaches huddle can consist of a coaching staff or it can be made up of coaches from various teams.
Where
The best answer to this question is “Wherever works best for the coaches involved.” Coaches Huddles meet in a variety of locations including a of rooms/offices on campus, restaurants/coffee shops, homes, etc. Zoom Huddles have been very successful due to their convenience.
When
The best answer to this question is “Whenever works best for the coaches involved.” Many times the Coaches huddles on campus meet in the morning before school starts. Other coaches huddles will meet once a week at a pre-determined time (morning, noon or night) and location in the community chosen by the coaches.
Who Leads?
Coaches Huddles are led by one or more coaches and/or volunteering adults who have a heart for the spiritual and personal growth of coaches.

As a leader you know that you cannot do all things and thus, you need to find resources to help you to carry out your vision for your program.
One of the greatest support resources we can provide to a program is to find, train and provide a volunteer Character Coach for your team(s).
A Character Coach can be one of the most significant partners to you and your staff as you coach the X's & O's, your Character Coach is speaking truths into the hearts and minds of your athletes helping them to sort through the pressures of life, school and athletics.
There are distinct differences between a Chaplain and a Character Coach. Contact Dan Barnes to learn more about having a volunteer Character Coach on your staff.
FCA coaches ministry events are a wide variety of short-term gatherings designed by FCA staff to equip and encourage coaches to grow in Christ.
These include:
We are looking for volunteers and event coordinators to help us to develop events within the region. Contact Dan Barnes if interested.
We have a variety of print and digital resources to help coaches grow spiritually individually and with other coaches.
