“A coach will impact more young people in a year than the average person does in a lifetime.”Billy Graham

Growing Coaches From Within

When campers graduate at age 12, they’re invited to step into the FCA Junior Coach Program—a dynamic sports ministry leadership track designed to shape Jr. High and High School boys into spiritual leaders and role models for youth.

Through this program, young men grow in faith, leadership, and service. After high school, Junior Coaches can continue their journey as FCA Lead Coaches by joining our i12 Internship or Shepherds Team Program.

As a Junior Coach, you will:

  • Serve alongside our Collegiate Shepherd Interns

  • Train directly under FCA Site Directors - staff leaders equipped to disciple and develop sports ministers

  • Gain hands-on experience leading youth athletes while deepening your walk with Christ

Commitment

We believe coaching is ministry. Because of this, the FCA Junior Coach Program calls for the highest level of commitment to both faith and responsibility. While each young man is on his own faith journey, Junior Coaches agree to:

  1. Pursue Christ – Commit to learning about Jesus and what it means to follow Him.

  2. Represent Christ – Strive to honor God in speech, actions, and attitude.

  3. Engage Fully – Participate in all Junior Coach activities, including Bible studies, team gatherings, and seasonal camps.

Above all, the most important quality is not perfection, it’s a humble willingness to grow and fully embrace the discipleship process.
