2. Identify/Select a school leadership team (Each School Will Need One)

Leadership Team Duties - (Students that want to serve on the leadership team must submit the application here and complete the FCA ministry Leader Application here)
FCA’s Student Leadership Statement Just as “captains” are held to a higher standard for their team, FCA Student Leaders are held to a higher standard of biblical lifestyle and conduct. God desires all of His people, especially leaders, to pursue His standards of holiness through their conduct and obedience. Paul the Apostle instructed young Timothy to live similarly in 1 Timothy 4:12 (NLT): “Do not let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity [chastity].” FCA Student Leaders are not always perfect examples, but they do their best to live and conduct themselves in accordance with biblical values and instruction in order to glorify God. If there are questions about what God says regarding how we live our lives, FCA encourages student leaders to look to the Bible as their Playbook and speak to an FCA adult volunteer or staff member if there are further questions.

A. Captain will preside over all meetings, work with other Huddle officers and Huddle Coaches in planning programs, give direction in setting group goals and demonstrate Christian leadership qualities.
B. Co-Captain will assist the Captain in any way, inform the Huddle of meeting time and place, assist in program planning and take care of any physical needs of the meeting.
C. Recruiter/Promotions Co-ordinator will promote FCA activities among coaches and athletes.  Announcements made through school media & online (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), flyers/posters displayed on campus, locker rooms, etc.
D. Secretary will provide administrative support of Huddle activities.
E. Treasurer will be responsible for processing any funds acquired by the Huddle.
