5. Centre Bounce Teams

6. Centre Bounce Teams
In Australian Rules Football the game begins with only 4 players from each team in the centre square.
There is a tall ruckman and 3 on-ballers all who get the ball moving in the right direction

7. Centre Bounce Teams is SCA‘s strategy to help move our vision in the right direction

8. Moving in the Right Direction…
The SCA network is committed to and gives permission to start countless Centre Bounce Teams throughout Australia
In regions or shires
In specific sports or leagues
In church denominations or networks
In mission agencies
Even in a local church
Their focus is getting chaplains into sport
Once they get the ball moving other players get involved; like trainers & senior chaplains
Centre Bounce Teams will likely start other Centre Bounce Teams

9. There are a few important characteristics of Centre Bounce Teams to note…
They have Reach
Centre Bounce Teams will typically consist of people with reach in their sport, league, community or church networks

10. They also… Have reach Work Hard
Centre Bounce Teams (in sync with SCAs values) will work hard at appointing chaplains to clubs

11. They also… Have reach Work Hard Make Contact
CBT’s will contact clubs & church networks to find suitable people to be chaplains and find clubs that want a chaplain

12. They also… Have reach Work Hard Make Contact Get Others Involved
Once they get the ball rolling they make it easy for the rest of the SCA team to get involved – eg,training

13. They don’t need to be the ‘Captains’
And finally…
Have reach
Work hard
Make contact
Get others involved
They don’t need to be the ‘Captains’
The pressure is off. Centre Bounce Teams don’t need to know or do it all – just help get the game started in their region or sport.

14. Strategically SCA is seeking to empower a movement of rapidly growing circles of sports chaplaincy networks in regions and sports that are governed by core guiding principles and trusted people.

15. We would like to invite you to see…
Men and Women serving Christ as sports chaplains in every sports community in your region or sport.
