One for the Team
So many youth are involved in sports these days. Kids are often double and triple booked, as they race from sport to sport on a daily basis. What an opportunity for Christian teachers to guide and shape them! With a minor in coaching, educators can serve as mentors—teaching the art of the sport they know best, while keeping the focus firmly on Christ.
Program Overview
Do you remember that ONE coach you had, so long ago, that made a big difference in your life? Now it’s YOUR turn to step up and be that coach. God made our bodies with amazing abilities. Whether we’re spiking a volleyball or punting a football, there is always the opportunity to serve as a Christian guide and mentor through the activity of sports. Take the sport you love best, and turn it into a calling through a minor in Athletic Coaching.
What to Expect
Teach the game you love and make a lasting difference in kids’ lives. This minor is available for those students in the Elementary/Middle School Education program.
