What is a Huddle?
A Huddle is FCA's campus ministry: a group of athletes and coaches that meets regularly to dig into Scripture, pray for one another and talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus in sports. It isn't another youth group — everything ties back to competition, teammates and the life of an athlete.

Start a Huddle at Your School
Every strong Huddle starts with the right people around it. We call it your Starting Five:
- SALT Coach — a coach or teacher on campus who sponsors the group.
- SALT Leaders — student-athletes who lead the meetings.
- Church Partner — a local church that backs the Huddle.
- Huddle Coach — an adult volunteer who mentors the student leaders.
- FCA Team — that's us. We train, resource and certify your Huddle.
And your sixth man: praying parents.
Once you've got a group together, reach out and we'll walk you through leadership training and the volunteer application every Huddle leader completes.
Every Time You Meet
- Open the Word — a verse, a story or a passage, every time.
- Pray together — for each other, your teams and your campus.
- Keep it athletic — connect it all back to the field, court, mat or track.
