Mr. Gartner says of his time with our organization, “I enjoy how the FVWAL works to allow students to use their gifts in another way to give glory to God. Along with that, some of the best weekends are the FVWAL tournament weekends. The Christian fellowship among the various schools of the FVWAL is a neat thing to see and be apart of. “

Many of the connections these athletes and families make extend into high school and beyond.”
