Every Athlete. Every Coach. Every SportFCA Sports in action…

Golf – National Scramble – Places…This first-class golf event ties the local FCA golf events into the national FCA Golf Ministry and deepens the player’s faith, strengthens FCA loyalty and provides the participant an opportunity to play for a national championship.

Lacrosse – Clinics – Experiences…One or two-day clinics in the local areas offer an opportunity to share the Gospel, promote FCA Camps and provide top level lacrosse instruction.

Motocross - Outreach Events – People…Provide opportunities for local staff and volunteers to use motocross events in their area to share the Gospel and let the local motocross community know about FCA ministry in their community and schools.

FCA Sports – What’s next?

I am so encouraged by the "fresh wind" that God is blowing through FCA. He is calling gifted people to share Christ in their sport community - many of which are new areas of ministry for FCA. In the past, when you thought of FCA, you pictured the traditional sports - football, basketball, etc.... Not any more! In addition, FCA now includes ministry in sports like skateboarding, motocross, bmx, hockey, cheerleading, maybe even beach volleyball... It's a new day in FCA!
