FCA ENVIRONMENTS
For almost seven decades, FCA has had a vibrant ministry on school campuses but the landscape of sports is changing. Today, most young athletes play off-campus sports through clubs and leagues. Sports and athletic programs have grown to include coaches and athletes who compete outdoors, and those whose playing field involves not only lanes and courts but dirt hills and waves. Athletes in record numbers now participate in non-traditional sports that compete outside of the traditional campus setting. To remain present, relevant and impactful for the next 70 years, FCA recently organized sport ministry into eight sport environments.
Action
Action sports are known for their individuality and risk-taking. They include BMX, kitesurfing, mountain biking, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, rock climbing and wakeboarding.
All Ability
All Ability refers to coaches and athletes who compete with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. “All ability” means the inclusion of all categories within the disability community.
Campus
Campus sports take place in public, private, charter, boarding, and college preparatory schools through elementary, middle, high school + college.
Club
Off-campus sports for coaches + athletes who aspire to reach expert levels. In a typical club experience, athletes invest in multiple practices per week and travel to compete with teams from other clubs.
“God calls us to use our abilities to our greatest potential for His glory, and that includes whenever we step on the field... It’s not to beat the guy next to you; it’s to recognize it as an opportunity from God to reveal His glory.”
- Case Keenum – NFL Quarterback for the Houston Texans
