A constraint preserving numerical method for the approximation of wave maps into spheres is presented. The scheme has a second order consistency property and is energy preserving and reversible. Its unconditional convergence to an exact solution is proved. A fixed point iteration allows for a solution of the nonlinear system of equations in each time step under a moderate step size restriction.
