Mission
Missionary Athletes International (MAI) uses the world’s most popular sport, soccer, to create teams that influence people for Christ through a unique combination of soccer excellence, authentic community, ministry engagement and spiritual growth.[5]
About
CAMPS/CLINICS & COMMUNITY OUTREACH (YOUTH AGES 5-18): MAI's influence often begins early in a young person's life when they first arrive at one of MAI's micro-mini, basic, elite, neighborhood academy, Urban Eagles, or special needs soccer camps. MAI has been operating camps since 1984 with a dual purpose of influencing youth while training camp coaches (ages 16-30) how to model their Christian faith in a soccer sports ministry environment. In the last 30 years, over 63,000 kids have participated in MAI camps in America and overseas. Approximately 6,000 kids attending MAI camps have made first-time decisions for Christ. In 2018 approximately 2,700 youth participated in 36 MAI soccer camps and clinics in the Charlotte, Chicago, and Los Angeles metropolitan areas and internationally in Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Japan. Since 2016, MAI has been working in partnership with YMCA of Greater Charlotte to train approximately 200 of its volunteer recreational league soccer coaches who were annually coaching more than 2,000 youth players how to be better coaches and transformational sports ministers. MAI's soccer camp, clinics, and community outreach are integral part of MAI's strategy of "providing opportunities for participants [of MAI teams] to live out what they have learned by loving and serving others through the sport of soccer." In the process of loving and serving campers and training volunteer recreational coaches, hundreds of MAI's team players have become transformational coaches who can positively influence the lives of youth through their example and testimony. This is one way that an MAI "season of training" becomes "a lifetime of service".
