Start a Huddle with Athletes
What is a Huddle?
A Huddle is an athletically focused Bible study for coaches and athletes centered on building relationships and engaging conversation about God and His Word. These can happen on a campus, at a church, or with your club team. Coaches Huddles are typically led by a Mentor Coach, and can serve a single team of coaches, or bring together coaches from across sports or even campuses to meet together.
The Win of a Huddle is to empower key leaders to create an environment in the sports community where the gospel is made known and lived out through intentional conversations. FCA is a place for connection and to have conversations that matter. Led by our student leaders, we want to see disciples making disciples.

E3 Discipleship
Disciples Making Disciples
As followers of Jesus, we have been called to be disciples who make disciples: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matthew 28:19a). As we follow Him, becoming more like Him every day, we also lead others towards Him. “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). This is the win of FCA: disciples making disciples.
But how do we start this discipleship journey? Simple, we need a great game plan. FCA has a game plan for coaches and athletes who want to get started discipling others called E3.
How do we begin the discipleship journey? We engage, we equip and we empower, in that order.
Whether you’ve led others before and you’re looking for some additional training, or you’re just getting started, the E3 training gives you tangible steps you can take to start discipling others.
We Engage relationally with others in a variety of environments by building genuine trust, sharing our lives, and sharing the Gospel. We strive to connect with coaches and athletes where they are at on their spiritual journey.
After cultivating relationships and once coaches and athletes come to faith in Christ, we want to
Equip
them with Christ-centered training, tools, and ongoing support. We desire to Equip them with God’s Word so they can grow in Christ and help others know and grow in Him.
Once equipped, we
Empower
coaches and athletes to help others experience salvation in Jesus, grow in their faith, and share Him with others. We desire to Engage, Equip, and Empower coaches and athletes to make disciples who do the same to others.
