How to Watch
Before Covid-19 Game Days. Every fall, FCA Laramie and UWYO FCA hosts a large event at a local church for athletes and Adult Volunteers from all around the State like Burns and all the way from Green River! This has been a tradition for somet time that included corn hole games, food, trivia, music and post game testimonies and autographs. This year the event has been scaled down to only local Laramie huddle to respect Covid-19 guidelines.
BUT...
We are going to combine pre-recorded interviews and live interviews into one event that the rest of the State is encouraged to participate in via Zoom Webinar!
Virtual GAME DAY 2020. This December 12 at 3pm prior to the UWYO vs. Boise State football game, FCA Laramie will be livestreaming (as a webinar) from their Huddle Game Day in Laramie, inviting local kids only to meet at a local church and enjoy some pizza followed by the Live Stream Event with Interviews (both live and pre-recorded) and a Message.
With Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, we want to promote this event primarily within our local SALT teams and local Huddles. Here are our suggestions for our Huddle Leaders and Adult Volunteers:
- Plan a place to host the small gathering (within Covid-19 guidelines) - a home or church would work!
- Invite SALT* or Team Huddle to meet prior to 3pm for pizza or a small meal
- Go to our Zoom link found on our Events page or Game Day page
- Watch the FCA Pre-Game Event via Zoom Livestream (webinar with just host and panelists visible)
- Optional: Watch UWYO vs. Air Force together until halftime or longer (students could be free to go if they don't want to stay and watch) @4pm
*Be sure to check our Covid-19 Guidelines and local information for best practices with gatherings.
*Student Athletes Leadership Teams, contact Staff with questions.
Those in FCA Laramie please email Becky to RSVP for the gathering at the local church in Laramie: HERE
If you are an Adult Volunteer and would like to learn more about how to organize this event, please email llawson@fca.org or give your local Staff a call! We would love for you to share any photos or report back how your gathering went and how God was present!
