Just this past semester a Fellowship of Christian Athletes “Huddle” was formed at Albright College, the March 5th meeting being only its 4th huddle. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is the largest Christian campus ministry in the world. Its core principle is to combine people’s passion for sports with their passion for Christ and make them aware that the two don’t have to be separate. After having a positive impact on his own life, Assistant Football Coach and Recruiting Coordinator, Steve Opgenorth decided to start a huddle of his own.
A big misconception of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is that you have to be an athlete to join. However; this is not the case, anyone is eligible to become a member. At the March 5th huddle there were both athletes and non athletes present. I interviewed Alvin Thomas, a freshman football player and Maria Disla, a non student athlete, to get their views on the huddle. Both Alvin and Maria gave positive feedback.
To find out more information about the Fellowship for Christian Athletes you can attend a huddle. They are held every Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Red and White room in Albright College’s Schumo Center or you can e-mail Coach Opgenorth at sopgenorth@alb.edu.
