A certified small group bible study/devotion for coaches and athletes.

Our Huddle Locations

Student athletes lead FCA campus "huddles" all around St. Louis. Huddles meet typically 2-4 times each month for spiritual encouragement through fun and fellowship. FCA meetings are a safe place for athletes to discuss issues both on and off the court/fild with other athletes, and to look to God's word for guidance.
