I just finished coaching distance for a local High School track team. Here are a few thoughts on the my experience and reasons for and against youth pastors using coaching as an inlet into the public school.
1. I tell my students to use the contacts God gives them to share Christ. How amazing is it if i can set an example to my students by doing it myself.
2. I tell my students to invite friends to youth group. Now i have the opportunity to invite teens to youth group.
3. Coaching gives you complete access to enter the public school. Every other inlet i have tried i am merely a visitor who has limited freedom.
4. I am at the public school daily that many of my students attend. It gives me opportunities to encourage them out side of the youth room and in their mission field.
5. Coaching gives me a foot into getting more opportunities in the public school. Possible counseling opportunities or others.
Just some thoughts. If you have other please add them. This would make a great book.
