The College Basketball Day of Prayer was established in 2021 with the goal of uniting the world in prayer for college basketball! Our hope is to see the sport return to the vision of its inventor, Dr. James Naismith. He designed basketball not only as a game but as a way “to win men and women for the Master through the gym,” aiming to develop the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. (Learn more in this article from The Wall Street Journal.)
On March 1 we invite you to join us in praying for every college basketball coach—from every background, division, and team—as well as for their families, staff, and players. Together, let’s pray for God to take back the game!

Coaches' Marriages/Families
For coaches and their spouses to prioritize faith and family, to have peace in unknown schedules while Coach is away from home, and to have trust in God’s plan during possible transitions and relocations.
Student Athletes
For student athletes to know God and see their true identity, keep safe from injury, and to have wisdom to make the right decisions at the end of the season whether to stay, transfer, or end their athletic career.
The Game of Basketball
We pray that God would take back the game of basketball and use it for what it was created for, to reach the world through the gym for Him.
