Our Character Coaches 

An FCA Character Coach is a local volunteer - often an area Youth Pastor or ministry-minded individual - who serves at a local school at the pleasure of the coaching staff of a given sport or sports on their assigned school's campus.  Often, the FCA Character Coach will share various life lessons with the school's student-athletes in content areas such as character, integrity, excellence, teamwork, being a good teammate, the hazards of social media, leadership, etc.  Each FCA Character Coach has undergone a national background check conducted by FCA's National Support Center located in Kansas City, MO.  In 2021-22, GAFCA is deploying the use of 19 FCA Character Coaches serving on a total of 18 school campuses in their 9-county area on the Georgia side of the Savannah River.
