Chapters
Form the next generation of female leaders.
Through ongoing prayer, discussion, mentorship, and formation, FIERCE Chapters equip young women to embrace their God-given identity, live out authentic femininity, and lead with purpose both on and off the field.
Female athletes gather regularly for prayer, fellowship, and meaningful discussion about the realities they face in athletics and life.
“A few months in, we have had every grade level of girls attend the meetings with natural leaders emerging.”
What is a FIERCE Athlete Chapter?
FIERCE Athlete Chapters are ongoing communities of female athletes who are formed to lead, pray, and grow together in their identity as daughters of God, transforming their teams and communities one girl at a time. Through regular small-group formation, prayer, Scripture, and student leadership, FIERCE Chapters move beyond one-time events to create deep, lasting transformation that equips female athletes to live their faith boldly on and off the field.
Why FIERCE Chapters?
The mission of FIERCE Chapters is to walk with young women through these challenges and empower them to live a full life embracing their identity as a daughter of God.
There is a need for deep formation to truly transform hearts and the culture of female athletics - one girl at a time.
We’ve seen it happen.
Be the next school, team, area to deeply impact the lives of women, and train leaders to transform a culture.
"With over twelve years as an educator and coach, I've seen a powerful truth unfold in our FIERCE Chapters: when a young woman discovers her unshakable identity as a daughter of God, leadership naturally follows. Grounded in that truth, she finds confidence and a pure desire to lead her peers closer to Christ. I've witnessed first hand that once this young woman is empowered with the authority of her Baptism, she becomes the most incredible ambassador of the faith, inspiring both her classmates and younger students to follow in her footsteps. Our FIERCE Chapter at Saint Anthony's High School created a beautiful, tight-knit group of young women who not only hold each other accountable but are now able to thrive, not just survive high school." - Elizabeth Welling, FIERCE Chapter Leader, Theology teacher and Coach at St. Anthony's High School
Be the next school, team, area to deeply impact the lives of women, and train leaders to transform a culture.
The transformations are not just limited to the meetings. Girls are attending daily mass, requesting Holy Hours of Adoration, praying over and with each other, evangelizing their teams, and opening themselves up to the deep power of the Holy Spirit.
Our prayer is to bring this movement to as many schools and teams as we can, world-wide.

How It Works
FIERCE provides the framework, resources, leader training, and monthly check in calls. Your school provides the community and a trusted leader.
Prepare - We are here for you! FIERCE will train all Chapter leaders, as well as provide ongoing support as leader prepares to both launch their chapter and lead the weekly meetings.
Gather - Chapters meet weekly or bi-weekly and create space for fellowship, prayer, and guided small-group discussion.
Engage - FIERCE provides structured content, discussion questions, worksheets, and additional resources so Chapter Leaders can facilitate meaningful conversations without having to create the curriculum themselves.
Reflect - Students receive short readings or prompts to reflect on and pray with between meetings. Meeting worksheets also include summaries so everyone can begin each gathering on common ground.
Grow - Over time, students move beyond simply participating. They begin to recognize their own gifts, grow in confidence, support one another, and emerge as leaders within their teams and communities. These women become FIERCE Ambassadors- leaders of the Chapter. FIERCE provides a separate training for these leaders.
Impact - By investing in these young women, FIERCE Athlete creates a ripple effect: leaders who influence their teams in the present, who in turn, inspire and form the next generation, creating a cycle of mentorship and evangelization that drives lasting cultural change.
