The FSI Retreat is for high school student-athletes who profess a Christian faith and desire to grow spiritually.

You can register online HERE.

Student athletes are paired with a mentor on the first night of the retreat. Mentors are college students, graduate students, and young adults who understand sports and sports culture and are passionate about the spiritual formation of youth. FSI trains mentors to be able to lead student athletes in small groups and competition. During the Retreat mentors will build relationships with three to four participants and will intentionally continue in those relationships for a full year following the Retreat.

The 2023 Faith & Sport Institute Retreat will be June 14-17.

The retreat will take place at Baylor’s Truett Seminary and on other parts of the Baylor Campus including dorms, cafeterias, and the Student Life Center.
