TEAM FCA Team Retreat
On January 20th-21st FCA hosted five teams for our 3-Dimensional Athlete Team Retreat, including four our own FCA Volleyball and FCA Baseball teams. The theme of the weekend was committing to FCA’s core values of integrity, serving, teamwork and excellence and how these are expressed on and off the field/court. 
One of the most enjoyable and memorable times of any FCA 3DA retreat is the experience on the air assault obstacle course where we place athletes in situations that reveal what is under the surface and not normally visible in their behavior. Fear, joy, frustration and numerous other emotions are always on display. Our staff and coaches observe these teams/athletes actions and provide feedback that reinforces those four core values and covenants.
Finally, the most significant moments of any FCA retreat/camp are the times of spiritual devotion, our chapel times. More than 20 student-athletes indicated their desire to follow Christ during our chapel times as evidence that God is moving in the heart of student-athletes. What an awesome experience it was for all the teams and staff involved, a big thank you to all the FCA partners and supporters that continue to make ministry like this possible.
