\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The Coordinator<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Ideally, each organization should develop a coordinator. In many organizations, the coach acts as both coach and coordinator, which can become overwhelming to the coach. For this reason, we highly recommend establishing a coordinator position.\u00a0The coordinator would act as point person between Teen Bible Challenge staff, the organization, and coaches.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Coordinator Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Talk up the program with teens, staff, and parents<\/li>\n
  2. Submit bulletin announcements to church administration<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule TBC\/KBC presentations for recruitment purposes<\/li>\n
  4. Reserve classrooms for weekly practices<\/li>\n
  5. Attend competitions once a month<\/li>\n
  6. Provide competition material for coaches to hand out to teens<\/li>\n
  7. Fill out league registration form(s) and send to TBC Inc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The Coach<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

    First, you must have a\u00a0Coach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Most young people are not self-motivated and are in need of the guidance and training of a good leader. Since most teams are co-ed, it is good to have a married couple coaching the team.\u00a0The couple in many ways will become a second \u201cMom and Dad\u201d.\u00a0In fact, some teens will share their innermost thoughts and deeds with the coaches, before they will their own parents. Therefore, the coach must be in tune with the youth.\u00a0Without this consistent interest, understanding, and love of a coach, morale and success often lags.<\/span><\/h4>\n

    The Coach Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Recruit\u00a0quizzers<\/li>\n
    2. Set weekly individual and group goals for\u00a0the quizzers<\/li>\n
    3. Develop a sense of team unity<\/li>\n
    4. Hold practices for quizzers<\/li>\n
    5. Attend competitions once a month, providing team line-up to score keepers and keeping track of their team’s score<\/li>\n
    6. Hand out schedule & competition material to challengers<\/li>\n
    7. Lead prayer & discussion time on verses during practices<\/li>\n
    8. Arrange refreshments during practices (parent & youth rotation optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Establishing the Team<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

      How many do you need?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      Each team must consist of at least three members and no more than five. \u00a0There is no limit on the number of\u00a0 participating teams an organization may have. Participants or\u00a0teams may drop out one month and return the following. New Teams may join at any time.<\/span><\/h4>\n

      Who is eligible?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      a)\u00a0KBC grades 3-5<\/span><\/h4>\n

      b) TBC grades 6-12
      <\/span><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      The Team<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

      In order to have a team\u00a0you must have participants<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0You can recruit youth from your organization. Your organization should be made aware of the TBC program before you actively start individual recruiting.\u00a0Secure the support of your organization.\u00a0If they have never seen Teen Bible Challenge, they should! Otherwise, they will have a difficult time supporting something they know nothing about.\u00a0Set up a demonstration for your organization.<\/span><\/h4>\n

      Personal contact is always the best way to recruit.\u00a0This shows youth that\u00a0you\u00a0<\/strong>are interested in them<\/strong>.\u00a0Talk directly to the young person instead of trying to reach him\/her through parents.\u00a0Write out your \u201csales pitch\u201d so that you present all of the basics in the original call.\u00a0Remember the young person is not taking notes, so don\u2019t flood him\/her with a lot of details. Invite the youth to an introductory TBC practice where they are actively participating, experiencing success in memorizing and understanding scripture.\u00a0Make this an exciting and fun time and don\u2019t forget refreshments.\u00a0Have a handout sheet available for the teens to take home with them at the close of the meeting.\u00a0A follow-up call inviting them back is crucial in the beginning.<\/span><\/h4>\n
