Varsity Catholic

The Varsity Catholic is an association created in 2007 as a division of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). Varsity Catholic was launched, to provide college athletes a comprehensive development during the university years. Varsity Catholic knows that sometimes their status, time, and/or energy doesn't allow them an easy opportunity to invest in their spiritual growth. With three staff at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, we responded to this need in the hopes of providing a service to develop the complete athlete.

The main values of Varsity Catholic are Community, Faithfulness, and Service and they offer Bible studies, one to one coaching/mentoring, they host service events with the athletes, and Mission Camps on spring break and summer holidays.
