Fall Tour

discover what it means to make Christ known through Basketball

Athletes in Action's Fall tour is designed to provide you an experience which will challenge you to grow in your understanding of what it means to live for Christ on and off the basketball court.  You will be involved in a daily schedule that involves bible study, basketball practice and exhibition games against university teams.  

You will be playing the equivalent of half a season in 3 weeks time.  These games provide opportunities to put into practice all the lessons learned.  The Fall Tour will serve as a training ground for those considering playing and ministering overseas through basketball.  It is our end goal to find opportunities for those who have succeeded on Fall Tour to find a place where they can play overseas while being involved in growing God’s kingdom. 

We have two Fall Tour Teams
