The vision for Ambassadors Football coaching tours is to use soccer to envision,

assist, and partner with local churches to reach out to the people in their

communities for the purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children and

their families. The churches then follow up and disciple new believers.

What will I do on an AMBASSADORS Coaching Tour? AMBASSADORS coaches travel as a team to different areas of the country to

participate in soccer camps. Most camps involve a 5-day program which begins at 9

AM and generally ends around 3:30 PM. The evening may involve a church

sponsored event, an AMBASSADORS activity or spending time with your host family.

AMBASSADORS works in partnership with the churches that sponsor and promote

the soccer camp in their community. Our staff has the opportunity to be an

encouragement and blessing to the church and to the host families. Coaches are

expected to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ.

How do I pay for the Tour? The players on tour raise the money through their church and through friends and

family. AMBASSADORS is a faith-supported mission. All AMBASSADORS missionaries

and tour members raise their own individual support, by depending on God to

move through the hearts of individuals, churches and organizations. We will provide

materials to assist you in that process.

How much do I need to raise? Target Support Goal: (includes Sports Ministry Training Course, housing, food,

travel, equipment, etc.):

What Does the Tour Cost Cover? We ask the team members to raise money to help cover their uniforms, training

course, ground transport, food, lodging, training equipment and materials, and so

forth. Anyone who is accepted for the coaching tour will be sent support raising

materials from AMBASSADORS to assist in the support raising process.

What’s next? You complete an application form (available from an AMBASSADORS office or at our

website, www.ambassadorsfootball.org), and return it to AMBASSADORS. After it is

received, along with your pastor’s reference forms, a committee will review them.

Once accepted, a letter is sent to you followed by a packet including your tour

notebook (includes tour info, AMBASSADORS info, packing list, etc.) along with

support-raising materials. When you receive these, review them and then begin

your support-raising.

An AMBASSADORS staff member will be in contact with you throughout this

process to assist you, answer questions, etc. Your tour director will also be in

contact with you to help prepare you for the ministry phase of your tour.

The first step of your tour begins today. Spend some time praying to discern if this is

where God is leading you this summer. Then fill out an application form and send

2014 AMBASSADORS COACHING TOUR INFO SHEET

At every AMBASSADORS Soccer Camp, it is our goal to: • Provide the highest quality of soccer instruction. AMBASSADORS believes

in striving for excellence in the coaching and program we provide.

• Provide a positive and loving Christian environment. Each coach has the

opportunity to demonstrate the love of Jesus through activities and

therefore have a positive life-long impact on the lives of the children.

• Challenge and present the children with the opportunity to put their faith

in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The soccer camp includes Bible

times, testimonies and assemblies that clearly present the Good News.

• Have fun! We desire that the soccer camp is a positive experience for the

children, moms, dads, coaches and all involved!

Coaches Training AMBASSADORS is committed to training and developing coaches to be

effective in soccer ministry. As part of the soccer camp program,

AMBASSADORS has the desire to see every coach develop in their coaching

abilities. The first week of tour, just prior to the first soccer camp,

AMBASSADORS soccer coaches will attend SMTC, a sports ministry training

course in Cleveland, Ohio. This course will prepare you to effectively coach

children in the fundamentals of soccer as well as disciple them to Christ.

This coaching tour begins in Cleveland, Ohio with a five-day intensive sports

ministry training course followed by four weeks of coaching at camps

located around the USA. Housing is provided by families of each host

church.
