The Fellowship of Christian Athletes Huddle

“Huddles” – groups that are initiated and led by student-athletes and coaches on middle school, high school and college campuses – play an essential role in FCA’s initiative to reach out to school campuses across the nation. The program began in 1966 and has flourished ever since. Heading into this fall semester, FCA has 4,631 certified Huddles in the high school division, 1,698 at the junior high level, 439 in college and 45 elementary school groups. In addition, there are 246 certified adult Huddles.

Huddles are only one facet of FCA’s Campus Ministry, which also includes team Bible studies, Team Feeds, Team Talks, chapel programs, Team FCA membership, “One Way 2 Play – Drug Free!” program and other special events. Together, each component combines to make a significant impact on an elementary, junior high, high school, or college campus.
